Shortly before Pope Francis touched down on U.S. soil for the first time on Tuesday, he assured journalists that he is not a liberal, according to reports.
“Some people might say some things sounded slightly more left-ish, but that would be a mistake of interpretation,” Francis said aboard his flight from Cuba to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
“It is I who follows the church … my doctrine on all this … on economic imperialism, is that of the social doctrine of the church,” Francis added,according to Time.
Francis arrived to cheers and chants welcoming him to the U.S. when he landed outside Washington, D.C., where he will address a joint meeting of Congress on Thursday, with speculation running rampant about what he might discuss.
The pope shook hands with President Obama, the first lady and their daughters, as well as the vice president and his wife after he landed.

This Pope is a true follower of the Church as it was first established. Long may he live.
Global warming is part of the doctrine of the RC Church?
I must have missed that class in seminary school.
Perhaps the leader of the RC Church has caught up with current world concerns? Addressing global warming and past sins of clergy. That’s a bad thing???
