I heard this.

Of course, Bernie is also married to a Catholic, who - if she did not get an annulment from her first marriage - is likely also divorced. Perhaps it is to get that situation cleared up, especially since the Pope just issued his "apostolic declaration" on The Joy of Love. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/04/08/pope-francis-releases-key-text-family-matters/82782602/

Or perhaps it is both.

Who really knows what is going on in his head? He is as quirky and unpredictable as Trump in too many ways. Not a good temperament in a potential CIC, IMO.
