I am totally looking forward to him addressing the US Congress.. That should make for some real discomfort.. Republicans won't want to hear his views on climate change and income inequality.. Democrats will get a little squirmy on his views on abortion. Where I think he may be able to make some ground will be on the topic of the Syrian refugees.. His idea that each parish take in and care for one displaced family is a really good one.. We shall see what comes of it all... if anything.

Yes, but at least he lived over here for a while, went to MIT, had "boots on the ground" in the IDF ... in other words, he's lived in the real world.

So the pope can have no opinion on climate change and income inequality? This Pope is a Jesuit.. He is really, really big no Matthew 25... and caring for our fellow man and the planet itself.

Oh, certainly he can have an opinion - everyone does - but making "suggestions" (ie - orders from God) goes beyond that.

Don't get me wrong - I respect Jesuits for their deep educations. It's just that his caring has an ulterior motive ...

If anyone had an ulterior motive for sticking his nose into our politics and trying to influence our government it was Netanyahu. I really don't know what the Pope's ulterior motive would be.. wanting to help the poor and save the planet? wow... how selfish of him.

Netanyahu is another story, granted, but at least he's "been in the world".

The Pope's motive? Simple - he is The Church. Tell me THEY don't have an agenda ...

Say three hail Mary's, one rosary, one act of contrition, take two aspirin and call me in the morning.

Phil, I only have one thing to say: YOU DA MAN, PHIL!

Sort of reminds me of the chapter in Michener's "Hawaii" where they are discussing translating the Ten Commandments into Hawaiian but are having trouble with "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery". The Hawaiians wanted to know which kind of adultery they are referring to. The mission says "just adultery - there is only one kind of adultery". The Hawaiian says that is a problem as there are 37 (I'm throwing a figure out here) kinds, i.e. sleeping with your sister-in-law, sleeping with your mother-in-law, sleeping with your brother-in-law, sleeping with your grandfather-in-law, etc., ad nauseum. If they said "no adultery", everyone would say "they're talking about another kind of adultery, not my kind" and if you list all 37 of them, everyone will say, "Hey, I haven't tried that one yet!" So they decided on the phrasing: "Thou Shalt Not Sleep Mischievously".

Phil, you've been quite the mischievous lady.....are you Hawaiian by any chance?
