Did the Dalai Lama speak to Congress ever? Or just to presidents?

I certainly don't agree with many of The Pope's political/religious convictions, but he is a man of integrity:

I fail to understand how listening to an address from a religious leader threatens the separation of church and state.

Does establishment mean separation? Separation (of church and state) means non-establishment (of religion).

It seems to me there is a huge difference between establishment and separation. But assuming there is separation, should the Pope be addressing congress?

The Speaker of the House, in this case Republican John Boehner, can invite whoever he wants to address Congress.
So he did. |

Government is to remain officially neutral with regard to religion. Seen in this light, the difference between establishment and separation may not span a wide and gradual spectrum ranging between one extreme and the other, but instead may be a pretty thin, sharp, and clearcut "either/or" dividing line. Government is to simply stay out of the religion business, period.
