OP
He's a foreign policy advisor to Sanders. I wonder how much bribery went on

I saw the time schedule. Sanders may very well not even make it in time for that 10 minutes...

Oh, Please. You'll note that the professors who are presenting papers have been given 15 minutes.

Actually, the ones presenting papers are given 30 minutes, the respondents get 15 minutes. n/t

This was political miscalculation of the most OBVIOUS sort. The only ones who will not acknowledge

His miscalculation was believing that Sachs could pull one over on Margaret Archer.

Do you really give a shit about the internal politics of some Vatican committee?

If there is any coverage at all, you'll have to tune to EWTN to get it, unless they license the feed

LOL--ten minutes before the pee break is "vindication?" If you want to believe that, you go on ahead

He's gonna have to squeeze it in on the 15th, because the Pope is in Lesbos on the 16th. nt

Right, there's absolutely nothing calculated about trying to get a speaking slot at the Vatican

I am certain there will be a meet and greet with the Pope at this conference...

The Pope is going to Lesbos on the 16th. It will have to be a very quick meet-and-greet.

Doesn't the conference start four hours after the debate? How is he going to pull that off?

Finishing at 11, I think? He has to drive to the airport, and the fly for what. 10, 14 hours?

He's going to have to fly through the night. He could do it--he might miss the "Welcome."

Pretty close to that. I hope he has a few friends in Roma--it's a challenge to get from the airport

And your calculations work if he gets to the airport at 11. At what time does the debate end?

You are not mistaken. Assuming he boards a plane at 11 PM NY time, that's 5 AM Rome time.

Sanders is wrong for politicizing the Vatican. The Vatican is wrong for allowing him to do so.

He shamelessly lobbied to get an invitation for political reasons. That cannot be denied.
