73. because you made such a big deal out of it and because Bernie decided to lie about it

"in the name of the Pope" - and the Pope personally scrutinizing the invitation list are two very different, non-trivial things

you decided to make up some bogus protocol to make it a papal matter, which it isn't

I bet he doesn't even go to Italy. kennetha Apr 2016 #1
I wouldn't want to take this bet hill2016 Apr 2016 #2
Why do you care and what does it have to do with this forum? awake Apr 2016 #3
Seems obvious when someone comes out and says he is meeting with the Pope to gain an edge in NY. Hoyt Apr 2016 #4
This whole Vatican thing really has you worked up, doesn't it? The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2016 #5
I could not have said it better awake Apr 2016 #8
of course Rosa Luxemburg Apr 2016 #14
Why does it matter? redwitch Apr 2016 #6
Of course he will meet with him. basselope Apr 2016 #7
of course he will - he said so on national TV DrDan Apr 2016 #70
poor thing basselope Apr 2016 #72
he shouldn't be - still an honor and he should treat it as such DrDan Apr 2016 #74
He likely will. basselope Apr 2016 #75
neither he, nor anyone here knows - and he claimed otherwise DrDan Apr 2016 #76
No, not at all. basselope Apr 2016 #78
what do you mean "no, not at all"? DrDan Apr 2016 #79
He didn't "claim otherwise" in any form of lie. basselope Apr 2016 #80
he clearly stated he would be meeting with the Pope on The View DrDan Apr 2016 #81
Incorrect. basselope Apr 2016 #82
here's video proof DrDan Apr 2016 #83
Video proof of what? Your inaccurate distortion? basselope Apr 2016 #85
lol DrDan Apr 2016 #86
Because it wasn't "unknown at that point" and still isn't "unknown". basselope Apr 2016 #88
okee dokee then DrDan Apr 2016 #89
And now we can see the definition of a lie... basselope Apr 2016 #91
there ya go assuming again - I did not see that post DrDan Apr 2016 #93
You rec'd it. basselope Apr 2016 #96
that is perhaps true then - I do not remember it DrDan Apr 2016 #98
If you rec'd it, it was an OP, since you can't rec comments. basselope Apr 2016 #100
I do not remember rec'ing an OP where the premise was made that Vatican=Pope DrDan Apr 2016 #101
That wasn't the "premise" of the post. basselope Apr 2016 #105
perhaps you can shed some wisdom on this statement from the Vatican . . . er, the Pope . . . whoever DrDan Apr 2016 #90
No paradox at all. basselope Apr 2016 #92
even the Vatican does not hold that view DrDan Apr 2016 #95
Not exactly true... basselope Apr 2016 #97
I'm taking bets on whether Hillary will meet with FBI agents soon TheCowsCameHome Apr 2016 #9

From what I've read, the Pope is traveling that week. So it becomes a very easy bet. nt magical thyme Apr 2016 #13
Actually he's not going to Greece now until 4/16 riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #18
well that changes things...I'd thought the trip was same day! nt magical thyme Apr 2016 #49
The Pope changed the dates... riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #50

It doesn't matter. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #15
Claiming the Pope invited him when he didn't is not an issue? athena Apr 2016 #19
The Vatican did invite him...this has been proved... Ken Burch Apr 2016 #20
The Vatican is not the Pope. athena Apr 2016 #22
If the Vatican did it, it reflects what the Pope wanted. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #24
He said "Yup" when asked "You're meeting with the Pope?" athena Apr 2016 #33
At the worst, he assumed an invitation from the Vatican meant he'd meet with the Pope. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #34
You're just proving my point. athena Apr 2016 #37
No, I just proved he didn't lie. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #39
If you think Hillary is a conservative, you clearly know nothing about her athena Apr 2016 #43
Do you have any idea how foolish you're going to look when Bernie meets with the Pope? frylock Apr 2016 #94
Bishop Sorondo is a close aide to Francis and he issued the invite to Bernie. riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #29
Thanks. n/t. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #35
Maybe this helps -- ?? CountAllVotes Apr 2016 #104
huh? and you know this how? DrDan Apr 2016 #53
Here you go: Ken Burch Apr 2016 #61
where does that say the Pope personally approved the invitation DrDan Apr 2016 #62
Everything a Vatican official does has to have papal approval. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #63
and that includes invitations to academic conferences? - link please DrDan Apr 2016 #64
If the Pope didn't want these people to participate, they wouldn't have beein invited TO the Vatican Ken Burch Apr 2016 #65
and there is no reason for you guys to inflate your importance - just makes you look silly DrDan Apr 2016 #66
ANY Vatican invitation is by definition a Papal invitation. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #67
then a simple link showing the Pope personally approves all invitations to Vatican City DrDan Apr 2016 #68
oh dear . . . ". . . invitation to Sanders did not come from the pope . . ." DrDan Apr 2016 #69
It's a trivial difference. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #71
because you made such a big deal out of it and because Bernie decided to lie about it DrDan Apr 2016 #73
I don't know this teevee show but the way it looked to me, its a pretty fluffy show? riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #40
Any honest person would have corrected the misinterpretation. athena Apr 2016 #44
I would not hold anything similar against Hillary riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #45
No bet...But you can get a 50/50 on Hill being indicted. nt jmg257 Apr 2016 #16
Depends: Is Lesbos on his itinerary? robbedvoter Apr 2016 #17
The Pope is meeting with gay woman on April 16th? awake Apr 2016 #21
With this Pope, it could happen. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #25
They'll both be there on the 15th, though. Ken Burch Apr 2016 #36

Photo the Pope and Bernie. dinkytron Apr 2016 #32
The Pope knows he can't be seen to be influencing an election. No meeting at all. nt IamMab Apr 2016 #42
Actually Pope Francis has a history of dropping in on these conferences riderinthestorm Apr 2016 #47
Would he go to hell? Jail? Gitmo? GeorgeGist Apr 2016 #48

After what you've posted about "ammosexuals" as well as homophobic images, you should look inward. beam me up scottie Apr 2016 #99
