In reply to the discussion: "You're meeting with the Pope?" "Yup". [View all]dr60omg
(283 posts)When I figured out what you were attempting to write I realized you probably did not understand this at all ....There was an invitation and the Bishop who is the Chancellor had to frigging write a letter so all you ridiculous people would calm down ...
IT IS AN HONOR FOR A NORTH AMERICAN TO BE INVITED TO THIS SORT OF MEETING because it has to do with moral economy. political economy and a for of environmental ethics ... Both Evo Morales (Bolivia) and Correa of Ecuador are attending. If, any American would be invited to this it would be someone who understood the shift leftward in the Americas and Sanders has always been part of this ...
If you are an American you should say that is wonderful and move on. I have listened to the Morning Joe story when he said it and he said Vatican not the pope. Will the pope be there i suspect he will because unlike some of the other Clintonistas who were posting lies about the pope's trip to Greece on the 16th the trip is not taking place before then.
Since he is in the Vatican would he hope that he met the pope sure and the question was framed in a manner that elicited a response "I would really like to do so."
Instead of denigrating this we ought to be applauding the Vatican for having a Jewish person attend a conference or working group more like it on moral economies
To say it was political I do not see how. It is serendipitous that the invitation appeared much like the bird appeared on the podium
