I have to agree with you.

He gets briefed just before the person enters so he knows what questions to ask. You enter then he offers his ring for you to kiss. He talks to you a minute or two and then he blesses you. You are then dismissed. Catholics like to bring a rosary, religious jewelry or pray book to be blessed by the Pope when they get to meet him. He take time to do that too.

If you are a person that is a political leader, he is going to really talk to you. Anyone else just gets to kiss the ring and the blessing.

PS I just read the link from above. I forgot about the picture taking. The Pope gave them a rosary. Afterwards he met with the Little Sisters of the Poor who is also in a court suit over ACA mandate for contraceptives.

There are conservatives also

There are conservatives also that serve the Pope. Most of the time he has no idea who he is meeting until a couple of minutes before hand. I am sure they are not all that happy having such a radical pope right now and like to throw him a political curve ball once in a while. I would be suspicious of a member in the House to set this up for political trade off or to appease the rabid right

I'm sticking with the Pope - I don't know what he discussed, but I'm pretty goddamn certain it didn't come out reading like a Family Research Council press release.

Warning to "progressives": don't abandon friends so easily - it means slime works, and just makes you a warm-weather schmuck anyway.

Yeah. Such a mistake, on so

Yeah. Such a mistake, on so many levels.

For example, giving a secret meeting to someone who would turn around and publicize that meeting as loudly as possible.

Kim deserves a gig at the Vatican, redeeming her divorce scarred life of sin for one that sees the ethereal beauty of government authority serving personal religious bigotry.

I guess Francis forgot the Bible tale when the Pharisees confronted Jesus and he said: Render unto Caesar what is Caesars, and unto God what is God's.

Of all the people or places he could visit - hospitals, immigrant detention centers, homes for abused women or children, health clinics for inner city poor, cancer wards, companies researching green energy.....no...he meets with a publicity hound. He might as well have not come at all.

One meanie, Kim Davis, didn't have to hide because the Pope coddled her.

Yes the Republicans are fascists pure and simple. We have to figure out a way to defeat them.
