The announcement comes after US President Barack Obama's invitation to visit the White House September 23
The 78-year-old confirmed late last year that he would visit the US to take part in a Catholic Church congress in Philadelphia
During the trip, he will also address the United Nations in New York and become the first pontiff to address the US Congress
Pope Francis will become the first pontiff to address the US Congress after accepting an invitation to visit the White House.
US President Barack Obama will host the Pope on September 23, after extending an invitation during talks at the Vatican last year.
The White House said the president and the pope will continue a dialogue about poverty, the environment, immigration and promoting religious freedom.
'As a champion of the poor and the most vulnerable among us, he carries forth the message of love and compassion that has inspired the world for more than two thousand years - that in each other we see the face of God,' Obama said last year.

Will he publicly rebuke Nancy Pelosi for declaring the Pope ‘wrong’ on abortion and birth control?
Sick and repulsive.
Swell — a climate change love-fest.
Hey, Pope-y ... Shut up and pray!
(Apologies to anyone offended by my insolence...)
in each other we see the face of God,’ Obama said last year.

God’s mouth doesn’t say the things the face of Obama has said...
Amen!
Will the Democrats boycott him?
After all, the Ope is against abortion and homosexuality.
Plus he is a white cracker.
There’s no such place as the “Whitehouse.”
PFL
Notice how Obama jumps in to presumptuously impose the “agenda.” What a shameless manipulator he is.
I thought he was "Hispanic" ...
Some of the demonrats 'boycotted' Netanyahu. They're antisemitic.
If they 'boycott' an Argentine Pope, they're anti-hispanic, too.
DEMOCRATS ARE RACIST!!!!
Let’s hope he’s not going to boost Obama’s ratings but to tell him he’s headed straight to hell, for his stand on abortion, gay marriage and being a notorious liar.
Let’s spin the “What will the Pope say this time?” wheel. Will we get the Francis who strongly condemns abortion and demands action on the Christian genocide in the Middle East? Or will we get the Francis who demands spending on Global Warming and demands that the US open its borders out of “Christian compassion”?
