A popular piece of legislation that seeks to honor Pope Francis is stuck in Congress.
With time running out on the Capitol Hill calendar, the lawmakers who crafted the bipartisan measure are getting impatient with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

The source noted that Francis last year denounced “trickle-down economics.”
Some Republicans believe the pope is “sounding like [President] Obama. [The pope] talks about equality — he actually used the term ‘trickle-down economics,’ which is politically charged,” the GOP official said.
In March, the pope raised some eyebrows when he indicated an openness to civil unions. He stressed, however, that he strongly supports the church’s teaching that “marriage is between a man and a woman.”
When Repubublicans win control of the Senate in November, they should impreach Francis.
