Francis Speaks, Who is Listening?


Pope Francis is visiting the U.S. this week, eating lunch with the homeless rather than with members of Congress, and knocking Trumpty-Dumpty off  the wall....

A humble man of the people, this Pope
He is giving so many such hope
That the Vatican might find
Through his open mind
A way to soften and broaden its scope.

John Boehner ( soon to be former Speaker ) invited the Pope to speak before Congress, as what?
a). Head of State, normally invited by Presidents only
b). Head of a Church, muddying the separation of Church and State
c). Conservative advocate, only to realize that as much as Boehner might like the sex and sanctity bit, he disagrees with Francis's uninfluenced by lobbyists views on immigration, capitalist greed, tolerance and environmental degradation...

Their faith in the Church is still strong
Yet they find that they can't go along
Because he places reliance 
On empathy and science
So this Pope must be totally wrong.
