 Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was the lone Democratic presidential hopeful -- and the only Jewish contender -- in the House chamber for Pope Francis's speech. When he left, he was beaming, as the pope had cited an American Catholic whom Sanders had plenty of praise for. 
  
 "The name Dorothy Day has not been used in the United States Congress terribly often," said Sanders in a short interview. "She was a valiant fighter for workers, was very strong in her belief for social justice, and I think it was extraordinary that he cited her as one of the most important people in recent American history. This would be one of the very, very few times that somebody as radical as Dorothy Day was mentioned."

 Day was arguably the least famous of the four Americans Francis cited in the speech, but she was a vital and controversial figure on the American left. Like Martin Luther King -- also cited by Francis -- she had a thick FBI file, compiled by agents tracking her support for democratic socialism and opposition to foreign wars. "We need to change the system," Day wrote in 1956. "We need to overthrow, not the government, as the authorities are always accusing the Communists 'of conspiring to teach [us] to do,' but this rotten, decadent, putrid industrial capitalist system which breeds such suffering in the whited sepulcher of New York."

 Recent support for Day's possible canonization has angered some conservatives. "Vatican archives are filled with reports of Christians martyred under the regimes that Dorothy Day supported," wrote Virginia State Senator Dick Black in a 2013 letter to Francis's predecessor, Pope Benedict. "I am revolted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ support for the canonization of a woman whose views supported the violent extermination of Christians throughout the world." 
  
 In Pope Francis' address to Congress, he praised Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker Movement for her "passion for justice." The Rev. James Martin explains in this excerpt from "Dorothy Day: Who Cares About the Saints?" (The Rev. James Martin and Loyola Productions) 
  
 Sanders, well aware of Day's views and her critics, considered it bold and telling that Francis would praise her. "He is willing to identify with an extraordinarily courageous woman whose life was about standing with the poorest people in America, and having the courage to stand up to the very powerful," he said. "You know, her newspaper was the Catholic Worker, and she stood with the workers of America and fought for justice." 
  
 The Vermont senator was less concerned by Francis's glancing mentions of other issues that animate progressives, such as climate change and gay rights. "He knew where he was speaking," said Sanders. "I think he does not want to be rude, as a guest. But I think his calling out for social justice, his talking about income and wealth inequality, his talking about creating an economy and a culture that works for everybody, not just a few, is a very, very powerful message." ||||| An avowed democratic socialist and a conservative Republican senator running for president both loved Pope Francis' historic speech to Congress on Thursday morning—for very different reasons. 
  
 Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders praised the pope's message of economic justice and call to fix “environmental deterioration caused by human activity.” 
  
 “I have long believed that the pope is playing an extraordinary role on this earth as one of the great moral leaders,” said Sanders, whose underdog bid for the Democratic nomination has generated great enthusiasm nationally. “That's been his constant theme—to make sure we are not worshipers of money, worshipers of wealth, that we don't live our lives just to make as much money as possible.” 
  
 “Pope Francis has been a powerful voice for life at a time when life is profoundly threatened in America.” Senator Ted Cruz 
  
 He was pleased with the pope's “rather extraordinary” praise for Dorothy Day, a Catholic-convert activist described in her time as radical in her pacifism and strident in her criticism of capitalism, which she considered an oppressive force against the poor. Capturing the cross-ideological appeal of the pope's overall message, she was also a fierce opponent of birth control and abortion. 
  
 Huddling with reporters as Sanders walked by Statuary Hall, which connects the House and Senate wings, was Texas Senator Ted Cruz. He praised the pope's message as “powerful” when it came to protecting the family unit, religious liberty, and protecting and defending “human life at every stage” of development. 
  
 “Pope Francis has been a powerful voice for life at a time when life is profoundly threatened in America,” Cruz said. “Pope Francis has been a powerful voice for marriage at a time when five unelected judges are seeking to tear down marriage laws across this country. And Pope Francis has been a powerful voice for religious liberty at a time when the Obama administration is waging a relentless war against religious liberty.” 
  
 Cruz said the speech should make President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden “awfully nervous” as it relates to religious liberty as well as the debate about whether to defund Planned Parenthood, a group that provides women's health services, including abortion. (Bloomberg Philanthropies provides financial support for Planned Parenthood.) 
  
 “It was striking, and heartbreaking, to see so many congressional Democrats sitting stone-faced, arms crossed, when the pope urged us all to defend human life,” Cruz said. 
  
 Cruz needled the press for writing “amusing and slanted” stories suggesting the pope's visit to the United States was good for Democrats. 
  
 The Texas senator, an outspoken critic of illegal immigration, sounded less moved by Pope Francis' impassioned call to be compassionate toward people who “travel north in search of a better life,” a reference to the recent wave of undocumented immigrants to the U.S., many of whom have fled violence in Central America. 
  
 “When we speak of welcoming immigrants, I believe that should refer to legal immigrants,” said Cruz, who noted that he's the “son of an immigrant who came from Cuba legally.” He added that “we should celebrate legal immigrants” and “show compassion to people across the globe.” 
  
 In his long section on immigration, Pope Francis, a son of Italian immigrants to Argentina, said, “We the people of this continent are not fearful of foreigners, because most of us were once foreigners. I say this to you as the son of immigrants, knowing that so many of you are also descended from immigrants.” 
  
 One presidential candidate who was visibly moved by that remark was Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a son of Cuban immigrants, who smiled and wiped away a tear as he watched in the House chamber.

 Sanders called the Pope 'one of the great moral and religious leaders of our time' 
  
 Washington (CNN) Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders lauded Pope Francis for highlighting Dorothy Day -- a Catholic socialist -- and for calling for action on climate change and poverty in his speech to Congress on Thursday. 
  
 In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, Sanders, a Democratic presidential candidate, said Day "spent her life fighting for the poor and fighting for justice," and added that the Pontiff's decision to mention her along with Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Merton is telling. 
  
 "She was a very, very progressive ... socialist who organized working people and the poor to stand up to the wealthy and the powerful and to fight for social justice," Sanders said. 
  
 Day, a social activist and devout Catholic, founded the Catholic Worker Movement, which advocated nonviolence, for the poor and homeless. She also co-founded The Catholic Worker newspaper in 1931 and served as its editor until her death in 1980. The Catholic Church has started the process of Day's canonization. 
  
 "The fact that he cited her -- not to mention Martin Luther King Jr. -- as one of the people he appreciated tells you where this man is coming from in the global world," Sanders said. "The fact that he talked about somebody that spent her life fighting for the poor and fighting for justice."

Solution:
Pope Francis made a historic appearance before Congress today, and one person especially pleased with his speech was Bernie Sanders. The Vermont senator tells CNN he loved the reference to Dorothy Day, a "radical Catholic activist," per the Washington Post, who founded the Catholic Worker Movement and fought for the rights of the downtrodden. Day "was a very, very progressive … socialist who organized working people and the poor to stand up to the wealthy and the powerful and to fight for social justice," Sanders said to CNN. He added to the Post: "I think it was extraordinary that he cited her as one of the most important people in recent American history. This would be one of the very, very few times that somebody as radical as Dorothy Day was mentioned." Sanders also acknowledged, per CNN, that Francis likely "touched on some very, very important issues that a lot of people would prefer not to talk about," but he adds the pope approached them in a "very dignified, non-partisan type way." Someone from the other side of the political spectrum is gushing about the pontiff's speech, too, but for different reasons. Ted Cruz told reporters after Francis' appearance that the pope offered a "powerful voice for life at a time when life is profoundly threatened in America," reports Bloomberg (Cruz was speaking specifically about religious liberty, traditional marriage, and abortion). "It was striking, and heartbreaking, to see so many congressional Democrats sitting stone-faced, arms crossed, when the pope urged us all to defend human life," he said. (At least none of them threw a shoe at the pope.)
