Great to hear this. But my info says that he will be there on Apr 16. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-greece-pope-idUSKCN0X4165 Perhaps he'll leave on the 15th. ??

What I do find interesting is that the trip is described as a "lightning visit" - which sounds as if this is being arranged in a big hurry.

I had mused earlier today that his reps would get him FAR away from Sanders -and fast - in order to avoid any inference that he was supporting a Sanders bid for the Presidency. Absolutely NOT the thing to do. The Pope "gets" that, even if Sanders and his people fail to.
