Isn’t this a violation of the “wall of separation”? Kids are suspended from school if they say, “God Bless You” when somebody sneezes because they said it on government property but THE POPE can blow hot air in Congress? This is unconstitutional. Especially if he starts pimping political issues like illegal aliens and “da vioment”.

Did Congress get permission from the White House before extending an invitation?

Obama will try to convert him to Islam...and when Papa refuses, cuts his head off.

Dhimmicrats will say it was OK.

Now there are two speeches that the Democrats can skip.

This gives the pope the chance to preach his leftist political ideology which fits nicely with the RINO’s and Democrats, so I really think he will be welcomed by all.

Will Sheila Jackson Lee be there 6 hours early so she can be the first one to slobber and spittle on him when he comes through the door?

I am not a fan of Boehner and am suspicious of his motives for inviting Francis to speak in front of Congress. Francis is naive to have accepted. As the current title holder of apostolic succession, it seems strangely blasphemous to use the vicar of Christ to influence American politics. I also believe that with prayer, the holy spirit will act in a way to make this right. Shame on Boehner for parading the Pope around so his buddies can make some cash off of illegal immigrants.

This is old news. The invitation was in March of 2014. Looks like the Dems are Pope pushing....after all, he's a pure socialist.

I also believe he has dementia.

Notice the date is after September 13th the Jewish Shmita and just before the last of the blood moons.

Something big is coming!

Ooops...forgot my tinfoil hat.

For what purpose? To tell Congress to pass more bills for redistributing wealth around? Whatever it is it will be good cover for Boehner and McConnell to keep going along with everything obama wants.

I guess I'm just one of a few on this board who is very uncomfortable with this or any other papal figure addressing a meeting of our U.S. Congress for religious/political purposes.

Is the Dalai Lama next to deliver a speech, or the Archbishop of Canterbury, or Louis Farrakhan, the head of the Nation of Islam.....or the Rev. Franklin Graham, or the venerable Patriarch of Constantinople, or....

If one or all of these religious leaders are not welcome to address the congress, why not...if precedent is set with this or any other pope?

I believe Pope Francis will be the first Communist head of state to address a joint session of Congress since Boris Yeltsin in 1992. Well, there is also Barack Obama.

Not to be outdone, Obama plans to meet with Satan on September 23?
