2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The collective loss of shit - H's supporters over the Vatican trip - is epic. [View all]passiveporcupine
(8,175 posts)172. Just in case anyone doesn't see what I posted above,
According to the economist Jeffrey Sachs, who has also been attending the conference which ends today, the courtesy visit was prearranged. Last night the meeting was scheduled for 6am this morning, Sachs said in comments to CNA. They had the chance to talk for several minutes. No photographs were taken of the encounter.
He said the senator thanked Pope Francis for his leadership on the moral economy and his leadership on climate change and he described how the Pope's leadership on climate change has made a vast difference in accelerating action on climate change. He also expressed his gratitude to Pope Francis for all of his moral leadership and his brave stances.
Pope Francis thanked the senator formally for coming to the Vatican and for participating in the meeting at the Academy, Sachs recounted, adding that the Pope explained that an earlier start than expected this morning meant he couldnt greet the conference participants last night as has had been originally planned. He thanked the senator for understanding and appreciated that he had come and participated, Sachs said. The senator wished him well on today's journey and the Pope wished Senator Sanders and his wife very well and then the meeting concluded and the Pope left for Greece.

don't forget insanity. The Pope is right they need to seek professional help. They are unhinged.
