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

    Francis opens last day of Washington visit with rebuke of congressional Republicans over lack of compassion for immigrants and refugees
    Papal visit comes amid rising tensions over immigration policies in Congress
    At least one Republican is boycotting speech in protest
    Francis lectures lawmakers about 'defend[ing] human life at every stage of its development' and ending the death penalty
    Subtle jab at gay marriage: 'I cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened, perhaps as never before, from within and without'

I'm really conflicted about the Pope addressing this political body.  I want to agree with it in principle, but I'm having a really hard time.   :shrug:

If the pope really were concerned about manmade climate change caused by fossil fuel emissions, shouldn't he have rowed to the USA instead of taking a jet airliner?

Or maybe he and all of these other environmental concern trolls should just address us all from on high by Skype.

But then, that isn't as fun as getting to jet all over the world.   :nometalk:

Notice how hypocritically-silent the left is about 'separation of church & state' when the Pope addresses Con-gress with leftist rhetoric?

Where's the outrage?
