Does Boehner think Pope Francis is going to show up in DC and thank the GOP

Say 'Great job for saving all the Fetuses'.

This isn't like all the past Popes.

This guy is a new breed of Popes, he actually read the words that Jesus said in the bible - words about helping the poor and the sick and the needy. Jesus accepted people from all walks of life which is another message coming from Pope Francis.

I highly doubt Pope Francis is going to show up to our US Congress and say 'Great job with all those attempts to overturn healthcare - I know Jesus would be so proud of you.' or 'Jesus was whack when he said that whole thing about the camel going thru they eye of a needle so make sure the rich keep getting richer'.

I think it's going to be entertaining to watch Pope Francis address our US Congress. Someone pass the popcorn this will be one to be remembered.

Seems they are just asking to be shamed and scolded
by their god's rep.

I think he's the first to do so, at least that's what the article I read said.

Not this one, even he has deemphasized the efforts against marriage equality. I don't think the Pope has come out in support but he has pretty much said that opposing it is not a high priority. I know it's not exactly what we want but it's at least a step in the right direction in light of how past popes have acted.
