    And the Pope went on to serve and have dinner with the homeless at a church rather than dining with congress. Gee, it's almost like the Pope understands the real message of Christianity or something.

    For anyone wondering why John Boehner, the guy to the left of the Pope with the green tie, is crying, he’s Catholic. He was born lower class, his dad owned a tavern. One of his greatest aspirations in life was to see the Pope address Congress, something that had never happened before in the history of the US. And here, under his speakership, history was made. This country hasn’t always been kind to its Catholic inhabitants, knowing that, witnessing the leader of the Catholic faith stand on the same pulpit Presidents have stood on for hundreds of years is understandably a moving event for a Catholic, and a landmark moment for the country.

    I'm not Catholic, and I don't agree with all of his positions, but I respect and admire Pope Francis for his compassionate and humanitarian views. I think he is a good man, in the same mold of change-bringer and challenger of ideas as John Paul II. Listening to him speak is a pleasure, as I can tell him to be a highly educated and deeply thoughtful man.
    I especially loved his introduction words, with the "Land of the Free" statement. It brought tears to my eyes.

The church and the church only offered us hospitals and schools and universities that educated the entire western world and beyond, including schooling and sending medical missionaries to the poorest sectors of places in New Guinea and Africa.

      halofornoobs93​ Marxist ideology implies a utopia where people help each other and live evenly with other people (essentially no class). This is the definition of communism. Socialism is where a government has one single party that controls every aspect of peoples lives known as a dictatorship. Examples china (just about) and North Korea. Democratic socialism is where the government works for the interest of the middle class or the common people. Elections are still held and everyone pays an equal tax rate regardless if income. Examples European nations. Capitalism where the free market controls standard of living and its everyone for themselves. Example united States. Now do the same and pick up a book and read. Why are you allowed to vote?

    I thought it was a good speech. He did not lecture people, he gave them food for thought. Simply watching is insufficient. Instead, focus on the big picture that he is laying out for people. The Pope is a very smart man who has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to convey a message. He had the daunting task of addressing a congress which ultimately has conflicting views on many key issues. He was addressing a room of people who could probably care less of what he thinks, most of who doubt his god-given authority. I'm not saying that there are not good people there who respect the Pope, but that given the direction we are headed, they are clearly not a majority.
    I though he did well. He humbled himself and delivered a straightforward, but powerful speech which concluded quite well. He respected our country's own history while urging us all to not hold on to the past, but look to the future. As a nation, we allow ourselves to be divided by conflict and led to confusion by the media. Pope Francis urged the leaders of this nation to be like Moses, bringing the scattered people together and to lay down the unalienable rights which have been given to us by God. He urged us to come together and be a family of the whole world, however dysfunctional. I feel he acknowledged that we will always have our differences, but that they should not drive us apart. Aristotle said, "it is the sign of an educated mind to entertain an idea but not to fully accept it." While he did not directly quote this, I still feel it is what he was suggesting.
    He reminds us of the 'golden rule' which reminds to "do unto others as we would have done unto ourselves." This parallels Mt. 25:40, "Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did to me." This applies to many issues of our present day, INCLUDING immigrants and other vulnerable peoples. I'm not saying there are any great answers, neither did the Pope. It should just be said that attitudes of hatred and despise are certainly not acceptable, unless that is what we wish also unto God. Nobody said being a Christian was easy!
    I think this Pope is on the right path: he acknowledges the necessity of good family life, something which is becoming increasingly unattainable in many places. Pope John Paul II said: "as goes the family goes the nation and the whole world." This spiral-effect axiom DEPENDS upon the implementation of all of the humble suggestions the Pope makes in his speech. We need international cooperation, ethical non-corporation businesses, increased environmental protection, and close-knit community involvement. That is what this country once had - when we all felt like foreigners - and what we can have again if we actually try.
    There is something to be said for believing that good works are necessary for salvation. These big global issues cannot be accomplished by prayer and meditation alone. However, they CAN be done with the aforementioned things COMBINED with the good works. Our actions are a catalyst for the will of God.

Their main disagreements with the Pope's speech were: 1. The redistribution of wealth. 2. Treating immigrants with dignity and reminding everyone they probably came from immigrants too. 3. The selling of weapons to other countries. 4. Man's role in climate change.

Therefore it is not surprising if his servants disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds"................Tell me something. Mathew 7:13-14 says only a few will make heaven entering thru the narrow gate. Then how do you explain the Popes 90% approval rate????? I have the answer. 90% entering the wide gate that leads to hell. Just telling it straight like the bible say's.

    Every time I watch this video of Our Pope...and when he says..'' in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave '' it sure makes me feel so appreciative of where I was born and to be an American

      +FortiPlex I agree. There are problems here still, sure, but nobody is being killed in the streets for their convictions. You're gay? Fine. You don't practice any religion? That's fine too. In North Korea your grandchildren can be thrown in prison for you speaking out against the political agenda. In Nazi Germany you could very easily be killed for being crippled or gay... and people say we aren't free

      +FortiPlex When people like Kim Davis can't exercise her right of free religion and is Jailed? who is free then? If That anthem was created during a time we were a Christian nation and Christians are being persecuted both in job sectors and in public schools where citizens can't practice their rights to Free Religion, is that freedom?

    Boehner has a heart, maybe some of the legislation he's helped pass has generated guilt. Maybe being in a place where corruption and greed existed for so long and having someone who represents nothing but the goodness in the world in that place is an eye opening experience you'd have to experience only by being who Boehner is and being in that room. So much hate, so much uneducated statements, but guess what? That's your freedom to remain dumb and hateful.

    I really like this Pope. I don't share his religion, but he certainly has my admiration. I love how he reminded righties that the death penalty is murder, while also reminding the lefties that abortion is also murder. He is brilliant at finding the middle and more enlightened path, like when he speaks about the importance of business and entrepreneurism, while criticizing greed and exploitation of the poor. The connection he made between the atrocities against Native Americans, and the discrimination against immigrants today, was admirable. I hope that the politicians there and the American people watching from home really paid attention and didn't just take for themselves the bits that they agreed with. And I also hope this Pope's enlightenment allows him to change the Church's position on birth control, homosexuality and other issues, which he has already hinted at.

    It was a eventful moment in American history to be certain. Especially considering that behind Pope Francis sat fir the first time in our history both a Catholic Vice President presiding as President of the Senate and a Catholic Speaker of the House as well. Ours is rightfully a secular Nation, but after decades of anti-Catholic fears, a Pope of the Roman Catholic Church has now spoken before a Joint Session of our Congress.
