Lawmakers urge inviting Pope to address Congress
Washington AP report: 53 lawmakers urge Speaker Gingrich to invite Pope John Paul II to speak during his October U S visit. Boehner calls the idea highly appropriate as no pope has ever addressed Congress. Gingrich has not replied. ONeill invited the pope in 1979 but the invitation was declined.
