And the Pope went on to serve and have dinner with the homeless at a church rather than dining with congress. Gee, it's almost like the Pope understands the real message of Christianity or something.
Plo Koon did he even claim to be a Christian??? You know David Hume said you don’t have to be Christian to be moral. Check this out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LAvHHTt2czU.html
For anyone wondering why John Boehner, the guy to the left of the Pope with the green tie, is crying, he’s Catholic. He was born lower class, his dad owned a tavern. One of his greatest aspirations in life was to see the Pope address Congress, something that had never happened before in the history of the US. And here, under his speakership, history was made. This country hasn’t always been kind to its Catholic inhabitants, knowing that, witnessing the leader of the Catholic faith stand on the same pulpit Presidents have stood on for hundreds of years is understandably a moving event for a Catholic, and a landmark moment for the country.
What a bullshit catholics had the easiest of all. Atheists few centuries ago were executed and even now in some shithole villages it's not acceptable to be one
@@JAKE-ng8yr you dont know history. The first catholic president was JFK. The us started as a protestant nation and arguably still is. for the first basically 150 years of america people were very hostile to catholics many political parties were based on this anti catholic sentiment.
@@bradenbirbara9370 www.pewforum.org/2017/02/15/americans-express-increasingly-warm-feelings-toward-religious-groups/ catholics are the second most liked religion after jews, protestantism is almost the same as catholics, they are both christian religions and i never saw protestant and catholics fight over their religion
@@JAKE-ng8yr - "i never saw protestant and catholics fight over their religion" Please google: "The whore of babylon", "catholic dead prayer", "catholic statue worshipers"... Those are only a few of oldie but goodies we always hear from the protestant majority. Anti-catholicism is and has been real. Both Italians and Irish were hated and discriminated against for that same reason... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Catholicism_in_the_United_States
I'm not Catholic, and I don't agree with all of his positions, but I respect and admire Pope Francis for his compassionate and humanitarian views. I think he is a good man, in the same mold of change-bringer and challenger of ideas as John Paul II. Listening to him speak is a pleasure, as I can tell him to be a highly educated and deeply thoughtful man. I especially loved his introduction words, with the "Land of the Free" statement. It brought tears to my eyes.
Then E-mail him asking the Vatican to open it's doors to it's untold wealth, & feed the Worlds poor. You are so indoctrinated, you are incapable of seeing the wood for the tree's. The Arrogance of Ignorance. Politics & Religion, like Oil & Water, akin to a Democracy, while at the same time feeding a Monarchy.
To Upper Cut - That's what Catholics do, they feed the poor. U may not know this, but until around 100 years ago, there were no public schools, no public hospitals. The church and the church only offered us hospitals and schools and universities that educated the entire western world and beyond, including schooling and sending medical missionaries to the poorest sectors of places in New Guinea and Africa. Wat do you do for the poor.
halofornoobs93 Marxist ideology implies a utopia where people help each other and live evenly with other people (essentially no class). This is the definition of communism. Socialism is where a government has one single party that controls every aspect of peoples lives known as a dictatorship. Examples china (just about) and North Korea. Democratic socialism is where the government works for the interest of the middle class or the common people. Elections are still held and everyone pays an equal tax rate regardless if income. Examples European nations. Capitalism where the free market controls standard of living and its everyone for themselves. Example united States. Now do the same and pick up a book and read. Why are you allowed to vote?
+Andrew Tran Socialism, Marxism, communism, fascism and liberalism....no matter how you slice it, it is all the same thing, nanny government tyranny imposed into everyone's lives.
It’s a rare day for a foreign dignitary to address a Joint Session of the United States Congress, with the three most recent being French President Emmanuel Macron in 2018, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2016, and His Holiness Pope Francis in this clip (as the leader of the Holy See/Vatican).

This speech was rather poetic. Clearly it's slow paced and hard to discern what he is saying, but pay close attention and you'll find some interesting material.
I love watching politicians scramble to come to terms with their 'love' for christianity and their love for money. Anyone who disagrees with what the Pope is saying on behalf of the poor is essentially disagreeing and dismissing the poor, who accounts for nearly 90% of the global population.
+Alyx Jolivet YES! I'm so glad to see these politicians who hide behind their faith as justification for their political ideologies, to FINALLY get a does of reality from their OWN spiritual leader!!
We are all sinners. I've, at times, have hoarded money back in my life. It's not good to do but there are plenty of things that aren't good to do. But sharing our wealth doesn't make us Christian. But, what does? And please, give a biblical reference if you would.
+jereomy clark Being a Christian ultimately entails not being an asshole, which a great and vast majority of [American] Christians either forget or don't realize. In today's [American] society people believe themselves to be Christian just because they go to church on Sunday yet they put out pure prejudice toward anybody who doesn't agree with what they, as individuals, think is right --- which is all cherry picked from the Bible. This is why I have such disdain for today's Republicans. They put their cherry picked religious beliefs before their political beliefs and call them the same thing. Because of this, we are now seeing people trying to say that being Muslim should be criminalized. We're seeing people say that Planned Parenthood is something that it's not. We're seeing billionaires get closer and closer to becoming trillionaires. And yet they tell the poor to fix their own problems by simply not being poor.
@@Jenit well the bible called him out before he was the pope so technically your wrong. I just love to leave reminders that your gonna die if you follow him although god is pretty forgiving if you repent so he might let it go if your really good and worship him more then the anti christ known as the abomantaion of desolation aka the pope.
@@Jenit like I care personally i just find these videos and leave commits to help others see he is evil so when doesnt really matter. Just look it got you attention didnt it. XD
look at John Boehner he was crying like a true man much Respect to him the Vice president and members of Congress and the Senate for taking to heart the words of this Good man
Say what you want about Speaker Boehner, but this had an extraordinary impact on him and it's very obvious. He is a very devout Catholic and he talks at length in his memoir about how meaningful this was for him. It's cool to see.
If only he would have supported measures that are in line with the spirit of Christianity, like welfare for the poor or healthcare for children. Instead, he dedicated decades of his life to allowing corporations to pollute and cutting their taxes. You know, just like Jesus would have.
I like the lighting on the Pope. It is very telling of his actions as a moral compass, as he remembers the true purpose of an active human Pope in society.
As a fellow Argentinian, I got a little bit emotional when he refered to the US as the land of the free and the home of the brave. It's truly a great nation, the cradle of modern democracy, and you can tell he really meant that.
I'm from Argentina also, and I stop the vídeo on that moment, WTF is saying Il Papa, USA kill and comit horrendous acts all around the world. 😂😂😂 Il Papa lie in that part. The lifestyle of the people of USA is sponsored by the explotation of another countries If those countries oppose, send the army and they will impose an economic blockade or destabilize democracies in a dirty way.
I thought it was a good speech. He did not lecture people, he gave them food for thought. Simply watching is insufficient. Instead, focus on the big picture that he is laying out for people. The Pope is a very smart man who has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to convey a message. He had the daunting task of addressing a congress which ultimately has conflicting views on many key issues. He was addressing a room of people who could probably care less of what he thinks, most of who doubt his god-given authority. I'm not saying that there are not good people there who respect the Pope, but that given the direction we are headed, they are clearly not a majority. I though he did well. He humbled himself and delivered a straightforward, but powerful speech which concluded quite well. He respected our country's own history while urging us all to not hold on to the past, but look to the future. As a nation, we allow ourselves to be divided by conflict and led to confusion by the media. Pope Francis urged the leaders of this nation to be like Moses, bringing the scattered people together and to lay down the unalienable rights which have been given to us by God. He urged us to come together and be a family of the whole world, however dysfunctional. I feel he acknowledged that we will always have our differences, but that they should not drive us apart. Aristotle said, "it is the sign of an educated mind to entertain an idea but not to fully accept it." While he did not directly quote this, I still feel it is what he was suggesting. He reminds us of the 'golden rule' which reminds to "do unto others as we would have done unto ourselves." This parallels Mt. 25:40, "Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did to me." This applies to many issues of our present day, INCLUDING immigrants and other vulnerable peoples. I'm not saying there are any great answers, neither did the Pope. It should just be said that attitudes of hatred and despise are certainly not acceptable, unless that is what we wish also unto God. Nobody said being a Christian was easy! I think this Pope is on the right path: he acknowledges the necessity of good family life, something which is becoming increasingly unattainable in many places. Pope John Paul II said: "as goes the family goes the nation and the whole world." This spiral-effect axiom DEPENDS upon the implementation of all of the humble suggestions the Pope makes in his speech. We need international cooperation, ethical non-corporation businesses, increased environmental protection, and close-knit community involvement. That is what this country once had - when we all felt like foreigners - and what we can have again if we actually try. There is something to be said for believing that good works are necessary for salvation. These big global issues cannot be accomplished by prayer and meditation alone. However, they CAN be done with the aforementioned things COMBINED with the good works. Our actions are a catalyst for the will of God.
This was an historic speech. So full of symbolism! But I feel discouraged when the same chamber listens to the speech of Netanyahu and applaud him more.
+AikanaroAnarion Well because the Jews are Gods Chosen People. And that Israel is our greatest ally in the Middle East. Well since Obama was voted president... Not so much.
+Shahaed Hasan Oh good. And your Proof being. The Bombing of schools and hospitals. You mean the ones that Hamas used to store weapons and rockets? The people who use Children and Women as Human Shields? Israel is the Most Free State in that part of the World.
my name is Mohammad I am Muslim I tell you with my heart I love this Pope he was best of best holy father I love you pope thanks for comeing america god bless this world
there’s far more christians, jews, in muslims have in common that would make them friends than differences that would make them enemies. to quote the prophet muhammad (pbuh) a kind word is a form of charity. as a christian i hope one day everyone can be charitable to one another in that way and learn to love others how God loves us.
I love this simply because you can literally see Boehner realize hes betrayed everything he is supposed to believe in as speaker, and promptly resigned after this visit
I think he touched on an important point. If every business concentrated it's main goal as the creation of jobs instead of merely squeezing as much profit as possible in any and every which way possible the world would be a better place. Capitalism as a way to create jobs and useful products instead of as a source to create unfathomable wealth would be the best thing for all humanity.
Also, it's not just about the people killed by the death penalty, but more about the society that allows it. Whether you believe in God or not, all life is precious from a fetus in the womb to a convicted prisoner on death row, to the animals and plant life of this world that sustain our way of life. We have a responsibility at all levels of society to protect life, for life is the biggest freedom and right of all.
+DynamicUnreal: Corporations cannot simply focus on job creation while doing business in hostile environments. In my opinion, there are and have been people who completely disregard everything noble about our species. They act without conscience, leaving the shattered remains of other people's lives in their wake. I believe that your mercy is misplaced.
You still believe they're the home of the free and land of the brave? Wow brainwashed much?If they were brave then they wouldn't be scared of Muslims all the time, and if they were free then the 1% wouldn't be controlling the 99%.
Joella Z nahhh, im not brainwashed, Iknow u have problems with corporations, few years ago I was friend of anonymous movment, but then I found most powerful force, the Jesus.You cant figt evil with its own weapons and violence, but with pray. Europe trew away Monsato products thatica tried to sell in Europe, i agrre that forcing to grow Monsato seeds is a blackamil and something like tirany, but try, pls, remember what pope said, dont give up try. Dont use violence, becouse if uuse their weapon on their playground evil will use it against you, they hope for violence and uprising, use 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit - wisdom, knowledge, etc...and most importantk on yourself trough prayer, tahn let the world be second mostimportant, first Jesus and you, your peace and security,than your family than people. Always start with yourself, i will pray for you Americans.
I hear what you're saying but you can name me just about any group that has wielded significant power and I'll point out to you when they've abused that power. I'm just limiting my great admiration to the man himself, not his faith or associations
Nope. Meaning I am beyond liberal/conservative and I appreciate how he shows genuine love and care for people. You obviously are still in that childish left vs right game, where you first classify people with simplistic labels, and then hate on the group that you aren't in. Grow up "newalm", your trolling is getting boring. At least give me something new. *yawn*
There is truly something about this Pope as I have never paid so much attention to one before in my life time. He is lovely and soft spoken, when he smiles it's adorable yet he is so powerful. He is the most open minded caring and true to his word Pope. God bless him and I enjoy listening to his wisdom.
+Gorkamorker don't be too hard on him. English is not his first language. At least hes trying to communicate concisely so the audience can understand. If he has to slow down his pace to do that then bravo!
+Gorkamorker If he starts speeding up the pace and speaking louder everyone will realize he's really Bernie Sanders with a little hat. Much like a comic book super hero
In several matters Catholic Church is leading for example in the fight against injustice, hunger, and dictatorial goverments around the world. Indeed Francis is a great Pope.
that was outstanding. anyone finding anything negative in this speech needs to back-off. peace, love, compassion, opportunity... what's not to love about that? put me down as a pro-pope atheist. in fact, tomorrow i'll swing by catholic charities and drop off some groceries.
+Cackling Crow He did, but it was because there was talk that certain individuals would stand up during his speech and be disruptive. Thankfully that didn't happen, or else we would've been gravely embarrassed, as a country, to speak against the Pope.
Thank you pope. Great message, let us never for get the solid platform on which this great nation was formed, always go back to the basics because is seems to be forgotten. The preservation of family, the freedom of individual, equal opportunity, seeking of the peace, and the fight for a common good of its citizens.
It's really incredible the Pope was invited to address Congress given that the majority of this nation is Protestant and there's a heavy history of anti-Catholicism in this country. Kennedy had to visit influential Protestant ministers right before the 1960 election to assure them he would not take orders from the Pope. But I'm glad he came, being a Presbyterian myself, I was happy to hear his message
+jimbob jim It's that internal conflict of claiming to be a good Christian while at the same time pushing Non-Christian policies and fighting policies that treat less fortunate people with respect and dignity. He's tormented by his own lack of character and integrity. Welcome to the Right Wing of American politics.
+jimbob jim right wing ,left wing,what does it mater? its the eagle in the middle that controls them both leading us to a one wordld government where we the people have no rights (SLAVES). notice how nothing changes no matter whose in control since FDR's time in office.
People's Revolution lol not quite. To “help” people in a society, government must “take” from someone else. There is no free lunch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LAvHHTt2czU.html Separate church and state
This is a joint "meeting" of Congress, not a joint "session." C-SPAN has it right in the text, but wrong in the title of the video. Only the POTUS addresses a joint "session."
Conlan Hinkel Because only Jesus Christ is the savior of mankind...the Pope is a scheme artist ready to micro-chip your brains and take you to hell...that's all he is here for...to proceed along with the World to the New World Order and to make sure your soul is sealed with the mark of the beast.
Boehner has a heart, maybe some of the legislation he's helped pass has generated guilt. Maybe being in a place where corruption and greed existed for so long and having someone who represents nothing but the goodness in the world in that place is an eye opening experience you'd have to experience only by being who Boehner is and being in that room. So much hate, so much uneducated statements, but guess what? That's your freedom to remain dumb and hateful.
+Brendan Sullivan I would've said good luck also. He might not have been expecting a turned on mic but there was nothing wrong with his choice of words. The pope barely knows English. A "good luck" would've gave him reassurance.
+Brendan Sullivan -There is a reason Boehner told him "good luck". It was reported that Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner, Vice President Biden and other "higher ups" had to post senior officials at the ends of the rows because there was "talk" that some Republicans were planning on voicing their disagreement with the Pope's speech like they did with Obama when they called him a "Liar!" during one speech. Their main disagreements with the Pope's speech were: 1. The redistribution of wealth. 2. Treating immigrants with dignity and reminding everyone they probably came from immigrants too. 3. The selling of weapons to other countries. 4. Man's role in climate change. Luckily the Republican's didn't pull any shenanigans..because they would have hauled them out immediately..though our country would have been the laughing stock of the world if we had treated this holy man with such indignity.
I really like this Pope. I don't share his religion, but he certainly has my admiration. I love how he reminded righties that the death penalty is murder, while also reminding the lefties that abortion is also murder. He is brilliant at finding the middle and more enlightened path, like when he speaks about the importance of business and entrepreneurism, while criticizing greed and exploitation of the poor. The connection he made between the atrocities against Native Americans, and the discrimination against immigrants today, was admirable. I hope that the politicians there and the American people watching from home really paid attention and didn't just take for themselves the bits that they agreed with. And I also hope this Pope's enlightenment allows him to change the Church's position on birth control, homosexuality and other issues, which he has already hinted at.
On behalf of my past away father and uncle Xavier Cardinal Thuan Van Nguyen, let’s continue to pray for UNITY among each individual family and extending to our neighbor family for God love and healing.......It’s will certainly take time but please don’t give up....He’s back and will be with you to the end of time! Amen. Take care for one another for now.
A blessed, holy man for Christ. Not perfect, but a strong voice of reason and mercy in our times. Yep, follow his call to care of the lowly, and to love our enemies.
Everyone in this thread is so negative. Listen to this man! Stop letting doubt and anger and fear get in your way. He says amazing things and either we focus on the negative and pick it apart, or we think critically and discuss how we can act to put in motion what needs to happen to make the world better. If we are all divided and arguing, nothing will change.
+clurrtree It's not him that's the problem. The problem we have is with the -religion- cult that he represents. The bible isn't fit to be used as toilet paper.
+clurrtree Something tells me the Pope never reads this scripture. Or many many others for that matter: 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds"................Tell me something. Mathew 7:13-14 says only a few will make heaven entering thru the narrow gate. Then how do you explain the Popes 90% approval rate????? I have the answer. 90% entering the wide gate that leads to hell. Just telling it straight like the bible say's. But then I do understand what the WHOLE bible say's is of little concern to most Catholics.
+Daniel May Pitty the Pope doesn't sell off some of the gold and artwork in the Vatican to actually help a single poor person instead of giving them useless "blessings" and telling other people how to run their country.
14:40 We must be attentive to every type of fundamentalism of religion or any other type. That should be an alarm for Constitutional CONSERVATIVES... Look at what they did to Protestants who said "sola scriptura"...
