In a historic address to Congress, Pope Francis cited Scripture and the nation's founding ideals to urge the United States not to turn its back on undocumented immigrants, to reject the victimization of religious and ethnic minorities, to overcome income inequality and to save the planet from climate change.
Francis, who is on a six-day U.S. visit, is the first pope to address a joint meeting of Congress. He was watched not only by a packed chamber of lawmakers but also by thousands of people who gathered outside the Capitol to follow the speech on big screens erected on the National Mall.
Watch reaction to his speech on CNNgo, and follow complete coverage of the papal visit on CNN TV, CNN.com and CNN Mobile.
