Pope Francis plans on a trip to DC to become the first Pope to address a joint session of Congress. Knowing his stance on poverty and the fact that many in congress have already complained that he is meddling to much in the US this could be interesting. Already people started to say this could make many on the right very uncomfortable given his outspoken stance on providing more of a safety net for the working poor. That he has become an outspoken about US's stance in Palestine and that he has urged for more action in Africa and in the poorest areas of the world. He will likely talk about the potential dangers of out of control diseases and that Countries have to do more to attack the problem. Both parties are likely not going to be happy with many of his messages.
