HAVANA, Cuba (The Adobo Chronicles® )  –  Pope Francis arrives in the U.S. on Tuesday for a six-day visit during which he will meet with President and Mrs. Obama, address a joint session of Congress, speak before the United Nations General Assembly and attend a huge Catholic family assembly in Philadelphia.

Despite his very tight schedule, the Pope says he would like to meet with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to discuss issues of immigration which has been at the forefront of the real estate mogul’s campaign.

Speaking in his native Spanish, Pope Francis told reporters: “Me gustaría mucho para reunirse con Donald Trump para darle un poco de charla sobre los migrantes y la inmigración y para darle un poco de nalgadas .” (I would very much like to meet with Donald Trump to give him a little lecture about migrants and immigration and to give him a little spanking.)

Trump has not responded to the Pope’s request but is expected to make time to meet with the Holy Father as a way to win the votes and support of the estimated 76 Million Catholic voters in the U.S.

Trump is Presbyterian but  even a solid vote from the denomination’s 1.7 Million members will not assure him of the Republican nomination or the presidency.
