    The GOP rightwingers heads are EXPLODING because the Pope came to America, and brought some switches.

    Beat their asses, Pope Francis, and those child-molesting priest too!

    The Pope is going to further expose their RELGIOUS HYPOCRISY.

      Yes; FREEDOM of Religion, Baby.

      All this nonsense about the Pope getting into politics, when the GOP clowns all feign religious freedom and their Christian values, of which these folks do not practice the precepts, but expects anyone not Christian to do so.

      MESSED UP, IMMARIGHT?

        They’re only offended when the Pope sides against them..

        It’s interesting watching the reaction of right-wingers who until this new Pope, proudly touted and exploited their strong political alliances with the Catholic church – and their respect for Pope Benedict for instance..

        I do love how the entire Obama family including Grandma, showed up proudly at the airport to meet the Pope…No shirking, no awkwardness, all smiles…

        And the Pope was genuinely thrilled…You can tell when the Pope is only barely tolerating someone – he deadpans and moves away quickly – and when he’s relaxed, likes someone, and is enjoying himself…

        You could tell he appreciated the entire First Family showing up to welcome him. That was respect..

        Threw the right-wingers off and for a loop – and successfully unnerved and turned the right-wingers into confused, awkward nellies…

    Meet the Four Kids Who Were First to Welcome Pope Francis to the U.S.
    TUE, SEP 22

    The president wasn’t the only one who got a face to face with Pope Francis today. Four lucky Catholic students were also on hand to greet the pontiff.

    Wow. Great pictures.

    Pope Francis is from Argentina, the first pope from the Americas. This is a big deal for Catholics on these two continents. So far, I really like him. No one person can revolutionize the Catholic church, but a modern, 21st century pope is a good thing, he can influence many people.

    I hope he enjoys his visit and spreads his message.

    Now the media is going after Pope. He’s a Jesuit, for Christ sakes. They are very much into the social conditions of SOCIETY & its people.

    He’s not European, and Hispanic Catholics love him. I’ll let ya’ll take it from there.
