seems like he actually was pretty well received by house Republicans. Pope Francis spoke to a GOP-dominated Congress about the ills of income inequality. He claimed that human activity was destroying the environment. And he said the U.S. should welcome immigrants coming from Mexico. But conservative Republicans were hardly offended. In fact, many were effusive over Pope Francis' overall message and argued that the Pope deftly -- and effectively -- avoided antagonizing the GOP with his famously progressive views. The Pope also spoke quietly and calmly, not in a confrontational tone. Moreover, lawmakers -- who did not have a copy of his prepared remarks -- also had a hard time understanding the pope in a chamber with poor acoustics. www.cnn.com/2015/09/24/politics/pope-francis-hill-republicans/index.html

it's like separation of church and state. what did you think about the Pope speaking at Congress today? Did it cross that line? At the beginning of his speech he mentioned Moses and they immediately panned to a bas relief image of Moses above a door whose presence confused me.

while Republicans typically seemingly to be more religious I find it a bit ironic that this Pope holds a good amount of views that are more popular with Democrats.

I like to speak of politics over a beer at the bar. It pretty much consists of badmouthing everything political.
