75. He likely will.

When one is invited to someone's home, you usually get to meet them.

The silly thing has been this concept that he lied.

It shows how little people understand the term.

I'm taking bets on whether Bernie will meet with the Pope. [View all] hill2016 Apr 2016 OP

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

What do you wager? All those off shore accounts and you still won't whatchamacallit Apr 2016 #10

You're on. How much and how will you send me the money when you lose? panader0 Apr 2016 #11

WHO GIVES A SHIT???. SocialLibFiscalCon Apr 2016 #12

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

can you pass me some of that popcorn? magical thyme Apr 2016 #51

He moves in mysterious ways TheFarS1de Apr 2016 #59

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

Yay, another Bernie and the Pope thread! Awesome. I don't bet but I think if he CAN CTyankee Apr 2016 #23

OH SNAP - "Check the cloud Hillary, maybe your invite came by email and you wiped it with a cloth." jmg257 Apr 2016 #41

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
