The US population has rarely been so divided politically added to that a Pope who is not afraid to make waves and you have a story that's surely to be closely followed. The Pope's first stop is the White House. Administration officials are already highlighting areas where Francis and president Obama see eye to eye, on climate change issues for example and the need to address income inequality. Tomorrow he'll preside at the first Canonization of a Latino Catholic. That Mass will reenforce the Pope's bond with his fellow Latinos.
