179. It was a top aide of the Pope (Sorondo) and chancellor of the Academy

Sat Apr 9, 2016, 02:18 PM

Apr 2016

that is hosting the conference who invited Bernie to speak. You all know, that the Pope does not invite people himself, don't you? He has people for that.

I hope for his sake that the Pope wipes all your smiley faces upside down by having a private conversation with Bernie. I think you are all jealous because Hillary wasn't invited...but then they wouldn't pay her 250K for a speech, would they?

Even the BBC is saying the Pope invited him. While in the same article they say he may not meet the Pope.

http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-35999269

Oh, btw, I suspect Ms Archer was NOT attacking Bernie with intent to support Hillary, but instead, in a fit of pique that someone invited him and it did not go through her. She is a woman, she should know her place.

Margaret Archer, president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, blasted the Vermont senator for "monumental discourtesy," suggesting he wrangled a back-door invitation that kept her in the dark, according to Bloomberg Politics.

Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, the academy's chancellor, said he arranged for Sanders' invitation, although Bloomberg reports that the bishop "repeatedly declined to say who initiated the contact."

Father Federico Lombardi, the Pope's spokesman told the Italian news agency Ansa that the Academy of Social Sciences invited Sanders, not Pope Francis, and that His Holiness doesn't plan to give the senator an audience.

"For the moment there is no expectation that there will also be a meeting with the pope," Lombardi said.

http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-04-08/so-who-exactly-invited-bernie-sanders-to-the-vatican

So, it appears to be a possibility that Sanders initiated the contact, but it was Sorondo who had him invited (not uptight Ms Archer). And there is nothing wrong with him wanting to be involved with a conference on social and economic justice. You all know if Hillary could have done this and gotten her photo op, she sure as hell would.

But keep chasing that red dot.
