Aug 2015

arrives with his big ticket messages: income inequality, political freedom, global warming, the evils of unrestricted capitalism.

It's easy for Lefties to complain about this pope's positions on abortion and birth control and male priesthood. Not relevant here. Not at all. Abortion will remain legal in America. These are not among the big ticket items for the 2016 election.

Pope Francis is on the same page with Bernie Sanders for the most of what does matter. Pope Francis is surely the Anti-Trump.

That papal visit will influence 70,000,000 active Catholics. 20% of the population.

Who's closer to Pope Francis? Hillary or Bernie? Where is all this going?
