Many of the news media have rushed headlines and speech summaries that state or suggest that Pope Francis today called on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform of some kind. I heard and read the speech and don't find that.
Posted Wednesday, Sep. 23 -- Today, Pope Francis avoided giving his opinions about what the U.S. should do with its immigration policies and instead stuck with broad principles.
Pope Francis I will be in the United States September 22-27 and will address a joint meeting of Congress on the 24th -- an historical first. All indications are that immigration issues will be at the forefront during his visit.
