Earlier today, before I knew about the resignation of John Boehner, I wrote here of my concerns about having the Pope, or any religious leader addressing Congress. It appears my concerns may have been prescient. *
We sometimes forget that members of Congress are people with emotions. John Boehner is one of the more overtly emotional members. That, as a Roman Catholic, he would be deeply influenced by the Pope is understandable. It is also why John Kennedy needed to diffuse concerns about his loyalty before he was elected as the nation's first Roman Catholic President.
As I said earlier I plan to have more to say about this important matter in the future.
