Probably, because he is a devout Catholic and the Pope's message was all about Peace, acceptance, equality, forgiveness and love for fellow human beings, which was in direct contrast to his out of control Conservative party. That had to make Boehner feel extremely guilt ridden for his part in vilifying a good man-- President Obama.



Contrary to what the people are claiming on this forum , the Pope did not come at the request of John Boehner. The Pope was invited to come by the President of the United States, John Kerry, Joe Biden and the Archbishop Timothy Dolan of St Patrick's Cathedral.... all who are promoting World Peace and equality. World Peace and equality is the antithesis of the GOP agenda.



I have to admit, that the service at the 911 memorial service where all of the country's religious leaders came together, promoting peace, was one of the most emotionally charged things I have ever witnessed. I am Agnostic and distrust organized religion ....I became tearful.

Boehner is Catholic. The Pope is Catholicism's leader.



Just 30 minutes ago, the news in my city said that Boehner has been trying to get a pope to speak in Congress for 20 years.

Boehner has always cried easily. I've seen him cry on several occasions on TV. Some people are just like that. I have a sister-in-law who cries over almost anything emotional that she hears. I'm not saying Boehner was not very affected by the Pope's presence and what he said; however, watching him on other occasions, I'm not surprised.

He did not cry "like a baby girl! Mr. Boehner's response is quite normal when a person is over-whelmed to such a degree where emotions are expressed. Apparentely what the Pope said was a deeply emotional issue with Mr.Boehner, and he is Not afraid to let his emotions be displayed. Very VERY NORMAL as that happens to many of us real people.

John is Catholic, but more than that, he is a decent human being. I don't know all the ins and outs of what he's had to deal with throughout his career, but politics is a thankless, brutal business. On top of it all, Boehner has bore the brunt of abuse from ultraconservatives within his own Party - grown men whining and b*tching about defunding Planned Parenthood, threatening to shut the government down to get their way. Even yesterday I read that John was planning to push a reconciliation bill to prevent a government shutdown. He's not a mindless drone (if indeed he ever was one), he's not sticking to the conservatives' script, and they hate him for it. Lousy ba$tards. I bet he's glad he doesn't have to put up with their bullsh*t anymore.



So, why did he cry? Who knows. I don't, but he does, and that's good enough for me.

DID Boehner cry through the speech? I was watching it on a wide-screen TV, and I didn't think Boehner was crying. He did look extremely sad and thoughtful through much of the speech, as if he were trying to wrap his mind around some big problem or big decision he had to make.

Or a baby boy for that matter? I wish people would stop using genders for things, it's really sexist. And using babies for people who cry when they react to something, be it sadness, anger, happiness, or just pure joy.



Here's a better question: Have you never been so touched by something that you shed tears?



Crying doesn't make you weak. In fact, crying can be a sign of strength. The ability to cry in front of others and not give a damn is really something special, it is neither weak, nor stupid. Only those who tease others for a natural reaction, or for something they can't help, are morons and bullies.

Excuse me, what do you mean 'like a baby girl' are you saying that boys don't cry? I'm sorry but if you were born whilst being quite, that's considered to be unhealthy.

I really don't understand this society which tries to improve the conditions of the women but in turn use phrases like these. It's pretty demeaning and hypocritical tbh.

You have NO right to say this. Everyone cries. EVERY ******* ONE regardless of whether or not they're girls, boys and other.
2015-09-27 03:26:55 UTC
Boehner swept the floors of his Dad's bar when he was a kid. That explains his penchant for alcohol. Drunk people tend to have their emotions enhanced. Thus, he lost control and cried like a baby. I've never seen the guy w/o suspecting he's half in the bag. I think he wakes up that way. He tans to disguise his red face ... like McConnell, that guy is obvious.

The pope snubbed dinner w/ Congress. I would too ... especially the reps who are beholden to enhance the depth of the pockets of the rich at the expense of the rest of us. That doesn't sit well w/ the pope ... he knows what's going on.

The pope isn't comfortable mingling w/ rich politicians like Boehner who will use his presence as a photo op to enhance their political image. That would make Boehner cry too (off camera).
2015-09-26 08:28:39 UTC
The Pope's visit was something he'd been working on for 20 years. And I can just imagine how hard a project that must have been to fight all of those dissenting liberal, anti-God politicians. It must have been an awesome experience for him to have the Pope finally there. I bet he's still pinching himself. He probably stepped down because it may have been the pinnacle of his political career. Cut some slack!

Because Boehner is Catholic and emotional about certain things. This is not the first time that he has shed a tear while on camera. You may not like the man, or agree with what he does, but I do think that the tears were honest. I don't have a problem with that.

Boehner is Catholic and his parents are/were Catholic. Growing up in a two bedroom home he shared a bathroom with 11 brothers and sisters. Growing up he cleaned up the family business, a bar. Eventually he worked his way through college.



Boehner has a true rags to riches story and he attributes his success to his faith. Meeting the Pope was one of the greatest moments of his life.

2015-09-25 12:40:39 UTC
He wasn't crying he was yawning. The tissue plus his face tilting downwards. Think about it...he's sitting behind the Pope and he's on camera..the whole time. Don't you think it would be "kind of" rude if he yawned and everyone saw him do it? Remember, your tears also come out when you yawn.



And honestly, what kind of nimrod would believe that a republican politician would weep to the words of a "Pope", even worse if it's a sensical line from the bible? For God's sakes....learn some critical thinking. Don't you see how most of these folks aren't consistent with whatever they do?

Mr. Boehner was not 'crying', his emotions were shown through his eyes. My take is that he was moved by the presence of the leader of the Catholic Church. If you were a humble person, you would be moved also.

An intuitive appreciation of the wholeness of it all.

He knows his job well. Some people in politics get to look flamboyant, others have to do all the work. So a person with a good sense of responsibility can still be moved by the simplicity and piety of a basic message.

Maybe he knows and other people have also thought, that if we are going to have a human colony on Mars, the inhabitants will have to live a very austere life, will need extensive and ongoing work on earth to supply and communicate with them, and we need lasting peace and respect for humanity at all levels.

So there is still work to be done on earth?

He came to realize that he is working in ways that are in total opposition to the Pope's message. He spent most of his time in tee House to get a pope to address Congress. The White House was against it. It is the President's prerogative to do so. But, this pope had a message that is pure liberalism, since Jesus was a Progressive!!!

I'm with blu. I cant remember (since John Kennedy) ever seeing a policitician at this level displaying emotions like Boehner does. With the selfie world we live in today i think his displays are a cover for something else-not authentic.

Emotion - deep - a love of Jesus and a desire to see the Pope speak in Congress. But it's not just Catholics who are so enthralled with the Pope. I am. He is a Christian, so am I, of the Protestant kind.



I know a Christian when I see one. When the Bishop of Rome says "Who am I to judge" when asked about Gays, you know this is a man who is obedient to the words of Jesus Christ and knows too that he has been chosen to send that message to the world, which he is doing like no other Pope before him.



HH Pope Francis took the name of one of the most respected saints of Christendom - Saint Thomas of Assisi

https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=50



And for those of us who have become self righteous - bear witness to what the Pope has said.

"Atheists can do good and go to heaven too."



What Jesus said was, "In my Father's House, there are many mansions."



Make of it what we will, Jesus was making it clear that even though who do not accept Him can still be received into heaven. We are all Children of the one true Mighty God.

John ***** is the speaker of the current Nazi Party. He's obviously misinterpreting the message, like nazi's always do.



Nazi's are natorious for misinterpreting catholocism. Especially neo nazi's. This was Dick Cheney's right hand man, he's the head of Hydra. He's confused and thinks the acceptance of this one nazi founder of torture techniques during the spanish inquistion. Means forgiveness expands to the whole nazi party. Well he's just a dumb nazi and always will be, just like bush and cheney.

Even the briefest bios of his life mention that he was one of 12 children in a relatively poor, working class family . . . . the first who attended college (by working at several menial jobs to pay his own way) . . . didn't aspire to politics but found himself as the #3 Top politicos in the USA, got the leader of his church to address Congress while he was Speaker of the House, stood feet from the Pope and spoke with him - - - - - I would be affected, too, but I'm sure that many of our politicians wouldn't have been - - - - mores the shame.

2015-09-27 04:31:49 UTC
I think he is Catholic or a strong Christian that respects the Pope. But I think he was crying because whatever the GOP/Republican/Congress is doing something it should not be doing and I think he was thinking about it and upset the entire time during his speech and probably asked for advice and a blessing before The Pope left.
?
2015-09-25 18:45:50 UTC
Because he had wanted to see the Pope come to the USA and to the Senate Chamber to make a speech.

He is a Roman Catholic himself.

I think I would cry too if I could see and touch the Pope also.

I dont care if he cries or laughs during Pope's speech. Good thing this RINO is soon to be gone. He might as well run as a Democrat. In 5 yrs, he never stopped any of Obama's radical agenda. NONE. I can't wait to see him back as a Democrat .....LOL

2015-09-26 18:55:08 UTC
he is catholic and it is very moving to be in the presence of such a great and spiritual man as the pope. It's like an atheist meeting Stephen hawking I guess. Quit being a jerk and give the man a break.
Fatefinger

Boehner is just one of those people who cry at the drop of a hat. I will say that this was the first time I saw him cry when the occasion for his tears was not about him. That is progress. He will be remembered as the Weeper of the House.
paul
2015-09-25 13:29:34 UTC
Because he realized how many people actually buy into what the new Progressive/socialist Pope is spouting, and he is crying for his country to have fallen for the words of such an economically illiterate man, just because he has a funny hat.
?
2015-09-25 10:37:02 UTC
Because he knows that the atmosphere and politics in Washington makes it nearly impossible to carry out what the Pope was referring to, he's had serious problems with legislation because of the radical conservatives on his side, and ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, and today it's reported he's stepping down.

IT'S OBVIOUS that with an insulting comment like that , it is more likely that you have never really loved or understood what it is to have been loved.

You need a heart with with an area of compassion inside of it, to begin to understand it, so until you develop such a thing , you will never understand what anyone says in here.

Like every power monkey in Washington, Lord Boehner is a glorified shyster; but he's also growing old and he wants to continue his power base as a first-class guest in Hotel Heaven. He thinks a few well-placed tears of fake repentance will buy him access to that eternal resort. The stupid, vicious ******.

2015-09-26 07:12:42 UTC
Because the (now being) Pope raped him when he was a little altar boy in Argentina. Seeing this swine back and in such a high office was too much for him. That's also why he resigned.
2015-09-26 05:58:17 UTC
Because the Pope had likely just told him to resign and get the hell out of Congress for the better of Boehner's family and friends. Being a politician is like having a drug addiction, it destroys the lives of all those around you.

he knew he planned to resign today and he has sympathetic leanings with the emotional words of the Pope...



for any democrats perhaps sad to see him go (he was a pushover) I think at LEAST they could have thrown him a few crumbs from their liberal agendas, maybe not the overthrow of obamacare but maybe a little tax relief for the working stiff?



republicans are now on their road to reform the economics of the country, declining salaries, declining growth numbers. and declining everything else. time will tell what is reversible,

I really like Brooke's conclusion to this question: 'So, why did he cry? Who knows. I don't, but he does, and that's good enough for me.'

It has begun to dawn on me that we don't display enough faith in people just to say, 'I don't understand their decision/response/lack of response/comment etc., but I have enough understanding of them, and faith in their judgement to accept it was the best decision/response/lack of response/comment etc.for the situation. And this is not about suspending judgement, but rather, it is about having a positive response to that person - having the confidence in them to accept that they know better.

he is an emotional person and the Pope being there moved him, and his speech also moved him. You act like this is something strange to happen. Welcome to the real world where people have feelings.

2015-09-26 18:45:05 UTC
Because he blew his load right when the pope started his speech. and he was so orgasmically happy that he burst into tears.
2015-09-25 18:31:47 UTC
He practices prejudice openly and is in charge of Charge of a congress run by a prejudiced republican party...and the Pope called them all out on it...to their faces.

Tears of Shame. When the Pope spoke Boehner realized how far he has strayed from the teachings of Christ.

Also, I wonder if the Pope spoke with him privately about Boehner's failure to live a Christian life and definitely non Christian political identity.



I think the next step for John Boehner is rehab.

He thought of all the persons he and his Republican friends denied -

a) Health Care and that they are still fighting to deny Health Care;



b) Work as health care professionals as health services expand and more and more persons receive coverage;



c) Jobs rebuilding and repairing our transport infrastructure;



d) The millions thrown on the streets as he fired them - husbands, wives, sons, daughters, relatives, friends, etc. as he downsized government and removed billions of dollars from the economy. Circulation of money that also impacts Mom and Pop stores, purchasing power for farm produce, ...purchasing power reduced throughout the entire economy that put millions out of work...



e) All those persons who he preached to that the government must get out of their lives even as he and his Republican friends demand the government get into Women Health Issues and force Women into never having the freedom to make their own decisions;



f) teaching that we should ignore that this planet EARTH is our only 'spaceship' and we need to not destroy it by taking climate change seriously;



g) and on and on with acts and actions that enslaves minds and ensure some remain in abject poverty...



h) ...and he continues with this nonsense of our President being weak on China's efforts at gaining advantages for China...with the omission of our USA continuing effort at gaining advantages for ourselves!!! ...as we must!!! Yes, he has tried for years to control our minds as into not thinking that we each are trying to do the best for our families and our country as he wants us believe that our people in other countries are not trying that self same thing. He and his Republican friends looks down their collective noses at us and thinks of us as fools!!!



...and on and on it goes. So the Pope speaks and he looks at his wrongs foisted on us and he fears for his soul and weeps!!!



...aaah?!



He wishes to deport 11 million immigrants?

What sum does he put on monthly expenditure for each of that 11 million? ...and when he multiplies it by x dollars) 11,000,000 x 356 days, how many trillions would that be removed from our economy? ...and the numbers of persons who supply goods and services directly or indirectly to those 11,000,000? ...depend on those trillions of dollars to survive? What of them? Yes he could not help weeping as he thinks on the havoc he and his Republican friends have created by blocking at every step plans and programs to put badly need jobs....made badly available to us.



Hopefully he has started to repent and next shall get to work in whatever way he can before he leaves office...and after to allow work-programs...all good work...available to the millions out of work!!! He needs to heal his soul!!!
