Pope Francis delivered a stinging blow to nativist conservatives bent on keeping illegal immigrants and Middle Eastern refugees out of the United States, saying Thursday in a landmark address to Congress that Americans should show compassion to immigrants of all stripes.

Long Title:

"Francis takes Congress to task on immigration, abortion, gay marriage and the Syrian refugee crisis as he insists on 'Golden Rule' approach to politics in first-ever Capitol Hill address by a sitting pontiff"

[Cowboy Bob]

Why doesn’t Francis lead the way by telling his churches in America to start paying taxes?

[driftdiver]

Why is it compassion to always let these people into my home? I would think they would prefer to stay in their home.

[ZULU]

We don’t need advise from a communist foreigner on how to conduct foreign policy. Maybe if he ran a real country he would understand.

[Uncle Miltie]

Good thing there are no Jihadis coming with the "immigrants" from "Syria". Just look at all the mothers, children and old people we could be saving!

[pgkdan]

Francis can pound sand.

I didn't watch. I was writing my Congressman to see if Joel Osteen or James Dobson could come speak to a joint session of Congress and tie the traffic up for 4 days with protestants flooding the streets. I'm waitng for his answer But wait!! That would violate "Church and State"!!

[Uncle Miltie]

Give us your young, healthy, religious extremist, male, violence prone, rapacious men yearning to bring Jihad!

[Don Corleone]

Why is it compassion to always let these people into my home? I would think they would prefer to stay in their home.

Their homes are crap. No running water, no toilets and no anything. Our welfare makes them equal to the upper classes in their own pest hole nations, that have been that way since the 7th century and before.

[Norm Lenhart]

He delivered a stinging blow to Catholicism.

so why didn’t the Vatican take in 10,000 refugees if we are all mean spirited?

Reminds me of that scene in Cocktail when Tom Cruise tells his arrogant business teacher “if you are so smart in business what are you doing here teaching community college business?”

[VerySadAmerican]

I believe this is a perfect example of where the idea of separation of church and state came from. The pope shouldn’t be in the chambers....period!

[Uncle Miltie]

[Deo volente]

I listened to the entire speech and didn’t hear a single word about abortion or gay ‘marriage’. What speech was this reporter listening to?

[Dagnabitt]

The worst Argentinian visitor since the Falklands.

[Biggirl]

He did touch upon the issue of the dangers of religious fanacism without saying the name Islam.

[lakecumberlandvet]

This mere mortal, the man they call pope, should go back to the Vatican and ensconce himself in his air-conditioned papal residence and quit spewing his liberal crap upon the American citizens. He might even consider sticking to religion and leave politics to the multitudes of crappy politicians already spreading liberal malarkey.

[Army Air Corps]

Well, Pope Francis, once the Jihadis establish a European caliphate, I am sure that they’ll keep you around.

Oh swell just what we needed, another foreigner with a thick accent visits America to wag his Marxist finger at us dumbass Americans.

Hey Dope, we already have someone droning on and on about how badly we suck. His name is Barack Obama.

Listen, Mr. Dope: Most of us decided hundreds of years ago we don’t answer to Catholic Popes. You’re opinion carries no weight with most of us. So thanks for dropping by and all and don’t let the door hit ya.......
