Pope Francis is a brilliant man, I think he asked Sanders to speak at the perfect time for a reason.

There is that reason... Look at the remaining states... Lots of Catholics!!!! Thank you Pope Francis for giving Sanders an extra boost as he goes into New York Primary!

First, I don't think he considers that to be part of his calling. But also, the conference that Bernie is invited to speak at has long been planned for April 15-16.
