It seems that the Pope was confronted by reporters about Bernie Sanders while the Pope was trying to set the media stage with the Syrian refugee crisis. The purpose for the Pope's trip out of the country was to rescue some refugees and bring them back with him. He had hoped to stir interest in the media about his trip, his concerns about the refugees--bringing international attention to the critical ongoing problem. Instead, Bernie Sanders had his own international agenda.
Yes. our grandstanding challenger for the Democratic nominee picked this important time to finagle an invite to a conference where he wanted to speak--getting penciled into a coffee break spot. He had been touting his impending "meeting with the Pope" and "invitation from the Vatican" falsely for a week--stirring media interest from here--deliberately, too (the point! Obviously!)
It is all about Bernie.
Bernie then used campaign cash to fly himself, his extended family, his SS agents, staff, and reporters on a hu-uuuuuge chartered jet burning tens of thousands of gallons of fuel on a turn-around trip to Italy to do so.
While there he ambushed the Pope and got a handshake--not a meeting, and spoiled the Pope's careful plans.
