Republican and Democratic lawmakers enthusiastically cheered Pope Francis’ address Thursday before a joint meeting of Congress, but not always at the same time.

Democrats predictably hailed Francis’ remarks on the environment, while Republicans cheered loudly at the pope’s somewhat oblique defense of the unborn. There were also a few bipartisan moments, as both Democrats and Republicans jumped to their feet whenever the Bishop of Rome spoke warmly of America, especially when he affirmed that it is indeed the “land of the free and the home of the brave.”
