Regarding those attacking the Vatican to attack Sanders....

I am a life long athiest that was born in Staten Island (the borough of NYC where my whole family resides) that went through 16 years of Catholic education. It needs to be said that even non-practicing Catholics still associate with the religious Catholics. So, when one insults the Vatican and Catholic beliefs to make Sanders look bad, you are not only insulting religious Catholics, but also 'social' athiest Catholics. So, when you insult the beliefs of the Catholic Church you insult many more than just the older Catholics.

Hillary's core demographic of wealthy or upper middle class WASPs could very well lose this election for her.

I've attacked the pope and the Vatican more times than I can remember over those issues, the people who are just doing it now so they can bash Bernie are opportunists.

It's like a gene...This pope has been the most progressive in years...I was a Catholic when they were fighting for the poor and dispossessed, like this pope.

In fact he has made me wonder if I should take another look at the Catholic Church.

He wants to welcome the divorced AND remarried...the LGBT community...even more liberal than my old church!.

on the Vatican and the Catholic Church make Clinton supporters look petty and snotty. Suddenly, because Bernie is invited to the Vatican, the Hillary supporters are experts on Church doctrine and they hate the Catholic Church.

It's situationsl whining that everyone knows would not be happening if Hillary had been invited to Vatican City.
