"You're meeting with the Pope?" "Yup".

181. Whether it was the Vatican or the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences

that resides within the Vatican. Or whether he will meet with the Pope or not. "A Vatican source also confirmed they would “not necessarily” be meeting privately. “It could happen, but very well could not,” ...me thinks thou protest too much.

It's not possible to contemplate that Bernie himself may have been still unclear of the details, and was speaking optimistically about the clear possibility of meeting the Pope? Or that he assumed that a Vatican Pontifical Academy, would not be completely different than THE Vatican itself? He was not brought up as a Catholic.

No, to me your OP just reeks of bitterness, and envy on behalf of your candidate. That Sanders will somehow get a Papal bump out of this. Its quite amusing reading this thread. Its like Hillarians, in lieu of any actual policy arguments, are starving for anything, anything that they can cling to that may cast even this slightest shade on anyone standing in the way for victory for their poor candidate that has to withstand the slings and arrows of people that dare to bring up examples of her very real ties or incriminating past statements and behaviour.

Oh...and thanks for the video, I hadn't seen that. I wonder, did his message, that is shared by the Pope, about the problem of the worship of money in American society, even remotely sink in? Or are you so ensconced with the acceptance of money having such a big role even for politicians like Hillary, that you don't even allow yourself the luxury of thinking otherwise? Is that the real problem you have with Bernie's invitation?
