7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2015 Pope: Francis advocates abolition of the death penalty Continued from Page 1A meeting with homeless people at the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington. Late in the day he was leaving for New York for more prayer services and a speech to the United Nations. The pope’s whirlwind three- day visit to Washington was the ¿UVW VWRS RQ D WKUHHFLW\ 86 tour that winds up in Philadel- phia. On Wednesday he was cheered by jubilant crowds as he visited the White House — where he and President Barack Obama embraced each other’s warnings on climate change — paraded through Washington streets in his “popemobile,” DGGUHVVHG86ELVKRSVQRWLQJ the clergy sex abuse scandal, and celebrated a Mass of Can- RQL]DWLRQ IRU -XQLSHUR 6HUUD WKH6SDQLVKIULDUZKRIRXQGHG major California missions. Introducing himself at the Capitol as “a son of this great continent,” the Argentine pope, reading his remarks slowly in English, spoke from the same dais where presidents deliv- HU WKHLU 6WDWH RI WKH 8QLRQ speeches. Behind him sat Vice President Joe Biden and House 6SHDNHU-RKQ%RHKQHUWKH¿UVW and second in line to the presi- dency, both Catholics. Outside, tens of thousands watched on giant screens, and many more were watching on TV around the world. Lawmakers of all political backgrounds and religious af- ¿OLDWLRQVHDJHUO\ZHOFRPHGWKH pope, pledging to pause from the bickering and dysfunction that normally divide them and hear him out. Yet Francis spoke to a Congress that has dead- locked on immigration legisla- tion, at a time when there are Bill O’Leary/The Washington Post Pope Francis along with the congressional leadership, and local clergy, speaks from the Speaker’s Balcony on Capitol Hill in Washington today following his address to a joint meeting of Congress. more than 11 million people LQWKH86LOOHJDOO\DQGZKHUH some lawmakers have balked at Obama administration plans to accept more of the migrants IURP6\ULDDQGHOVHZKHUHZKR DUHQRZÀRRGLQJ(XURSH Indeed, Francis arrived at a moment of particular turmoil for Congress, with a partial government shutdown looming next week unless lawmakers can resolve a dispute over fund- ing for Planned Parenthood related to the group’s practices providing fetal tissue for re- search. Francis steered clear of such controversies, alluding only in passing to the Catholic Church’s opposition to abortion when he noted, to applause, “our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development.” He advocated abolition of the death penalty, something that enjoys support from a number of lawmakers of both parties at the federal level, and spoke out against fundamental- ism of all kinds, while urging care in combating it. “A delicate balance is re- quired to combat violence perpetrated in the name of a religion, an ideology or an eco- nomic system, while also safe- guarding religious freedom, intellectual freedom and indi- vidual freedoms,” Francis said. On immigration, Francis urged lawmakers — and the 8QLWHG6WDWHVDVDZKROH²QRW to be afraid of migrants but to welcome them as fellow human beings, not things that can be discarded just because they are troublesome. Francis, the son of Italian immigrants to Argentina, re- called that America itself was founded by immigrants, that many lawmakers are descend- ed from foreigners and that that new generations must not “turn their back on our neighbors.” Given an ovation when he spoke of the Golden Rule, he said, “Let us treat others with the same passion and compas- sion with which we want to be treated.” He reiterated his stance on climate change, “the environ- mental deterioration caused by human activity.” Yet in calling for action on the climate and to combat poverty, Francis took care to insist he was not anti-business, as some conservatives have suggested. He quoted a Cath- olic teaching document calling business “a noble vocation, di- rected to producing wealth and improving the world.” Many lawmakers had vowed to preserve decorum throughout the speech and members of both parties lis- tened intently, yet they did not completely contain their reac- tions. The mention of climate change drew standing cheers from Democrats while Repub- licans stood to applaud the ref- erence to abortion. One Demo- cratic House member let out a whoop of delight at the pope’s call to abolish the death penalty. Republicans in particular also loudly applauded as Fran- cis asserted the importance of family life and bemoaned that “fundamental relationships are being called into question as is the very basis of marriage and the family.” The Catholic Church opposes gay marriage, UHFHQWO\ OHJDOL]HG E\ WKH 6X- preme Court.

On Thursday, security was tight outside the Capitol, with streets blocked off and a heavy police presence that rivaled an ,QDXJXUDWLRQ RU 6WDWH RI WKH 8QLRQDGGUHVVE\WKH86SUHV- ident. The scene on the West Lawn was festive but orderly. Francis enjoys approval rat- LQJVWKHHQY\RIDQ\86SROL- tician as he’s remade the image of the Catholic Church toward openness and compassion, yet without changing fundamental church doctrine. Addressing a FKDPEHUIXOORIHOHFWHGRI¿FLDOV Thursday, he may have been the most adept politician in the room. LNG: It will be months before applications arrive at the commission Continued from Page 1A “It’s important to note that we can hear from constitu- ents,” Balensifer said at Tues- day’s meeting. “We’re not ig- noring constituents.” When it comes to general ex- pressions of support or opposi- tion unrelated to the facts of the application, “we can hear from constituents on that,” he said. But when it comes to in-per- son feedback from constituents, the commissioners can choose to either shy away from con- versations that broach the facts of the applications, or they can take detailed notes and disclose the conversations, which would become part of the record. Balensifer said that con- stituents who wish to make pointed remarks on the LNG permit applications’ substance should send them to the city’s planning staff since it will be months before the applications come before the commission. Earlier this month, Plan- QLQJ'LUHFWRU6NLS8UOLQJUHF- ommended, at a two-part pub- lic hearing, that Daniel Kearns, a land use attorney from Port- ODQG VHUYLQJ DV KHDULQJV RI¿- cer, approve Oregon LNG’s permit applications. Kearns said he will probably issue a written decision between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Whether Kearns approves or denies the applications, the decision will almost certainly be appealed to the City Com- mission, casting the commis- sion in a quasi-judicial role. As they must with any land use application that has a qua- si-judicial bearing, the commis- sioners must act impartially and base their decision on the city’s codes and standards. Laws that restrict private conversations about a project exist, theoret- ically, to ensure the commis- sioners’ interpretation of those codes and standards is formed during the public hearing, not before, Balensifer said. “That’s part of trying to make sure that we remain un- biased, per the law, and are ob- jective according to the facts and evidence in the record,” Balensifer said. He added that, where LNG is concerned, the commission has to exercise caution and uphold the integrity of the process. “We’ll do our due dil- igence,” he said. But “we still intend to hear — and will hear — from constituents.” Mayor Mark Kujala said he has told constituents, when they approach him in a store or SRVW RI¿FH WKDW WKH FRPPLV- sion is “trying to be extremely careful about being biased, and we want to make sure that we are going to be hearing this as an executive board.” “I think everybody’s been extremely respectful and un- derstands what position we are in, and what our role is going to be when it comes to an appeal, as (the LNG permit applications) likely will be ap- pealed,” Kujala said.
