Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich), who serves as Republican House Policy Chairman, notes that Congress today unanimously passed HR 838, welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to the United States.
“Pope Benedict XVI’s apostolic visit to the United States is a uniquely historical moment. It has been twenty nine years since the leader of the Roman Catholic Church and Vatican Head of State has visited the White House, and it is the first visit by Pope Benedict to the United States. All Americans should eagerly look forward to his message of hope and renewal.”
