A Papal Visit to Congress Raises a Host of Possibilities!

I note with interest that U. S. House Speaker John Boehner has invited Pope Francis to address a joint session of Congress. The prospect of such an event raises a host of possibilities.
I wonder if Boehner will show the Pope how politics works in the United States, that the skilled and seasoned elected official tells his opponents, "go f--- yourself" and refers to another's legislation as "chicken crap". Will Boehner ask the Pope to join him in chain smoking or would he able to refrain from his addiction for whatever time is spent with the worldwide leader of the Church?  Is it possible that a fellow Republican would exclaim "You lie!" or "You engage in blasphemy!" if the Pope were to deliver an address in which he expressed the need for us to demonstrate tolerance for those of all sexual orientations?
It is difficult for to envision the Pope alongside the undistinguished, coarse, crude Speaker.
