Pope Francis will visit the White House in September during his trip to the United States, the Obama administration announced Thursday.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said that the pontiff and the president will talk about their "shared values" during the September 23 visit, "including caring for the marginalized and the poor; advancing economic opportunity for all; serving as good stewards of the environment; protecting religious minorities and promoting religious freedom around the world; and welcoming and integrating immigrants and refugees into our communities."
Earlier this year, House Speaker John Boehner announced that Pope Francis will address a joint session of Congress on September 24.
Pope Francis will also visit Philadelphia and New York during his U.S. visit, his first since becoming the leader of the Catholic Church.

So many it’s hard to keep track of them all!
If he ever quits the Popehood he can always be Obama’s Chief of Staff.

Dear Pope Francis,I hear Obama likes for people to pick up McDonald's for him when they visit him at the White House. Something about his wife not liking him to eat fast food.

Wonder if they will offer Israel a 7 year peace pact. With a 3.5 year escape clause.

I'm thinking it will simply be a peace deal without them even being aware of the implications.

If they do I’m switching from Amillennialism to Dispensationalism.

Why? Are you expecting Francis to die?
A conclave elects a new Pope.

Isn’t the Pope the head of State of the Vatican? Or am I mistaken?
