It's pretty telling as well. I'm wondering how hard camp Hillary is burning up the phones trying to get an invitation too right now before the torrent of sour grapes is released on the Pope.

Could this say that the Pope thinks Bernie is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the US? Possibly. But it definitely says even the Pope thinks Bernie is much more moral than Hillary.

The fine print is difficult to read. Perhaps the original would be easier. Thanks

I wouldn't be surprised that the pope did know.

and instruct him to throw it on Hillary. Afterwards, he can sit back and listen to her say, "It Berns! It Berns!"

Making it my avatar!

the msm will not be reporting on this.

That the MSM is really downplaying his being the first Jewish candidate likely to be president so as to not interfere with Hillary's historic run as the first woman president.

A lot of Catholic blue out there! Some pretty big States population-wise no less.

This Pope is amazing! As is Bernie!

When the Latino Hillary voter across the street heard Bernie is going to the Vatican she said she was switching sides. That's one.

Good News ... for modern man.

i see him winning ny, nj,ct, ri

very likely to also win pa, and maybe md

and california is looking good too

hillary, as usual, is on the wrong side of economic justice.

bernie, the jew, being a better christian than "christian" hillary

Bernie tricked the pope into inviting him because his polling in NY is low and he's bailing on the state.

(not sure if the hillary group got that from newsmax, or if newsmax will soon be getting it from the hillary group.)

The new meme of the day is that a self-avowed Third Wayer is accusing Sanders of lying about the invitation. That he actually requested the invitation and that he is politicizing it.

The way things work among public people--elected officials, candidates, celebrities--your contact person contacts people at events and venues that you deem desirable, and lets them know that you are available. Those running those events or venues don't have to invite you. They make a judgement as to whether you would enhance the event or would be an appropriate guest in one way or another. Then the invitation is issued.

So, whether or not this is how it happened, there is absolutely NO QUESTION that Sanders has been vetted by Pope Francis, who either thought of Sanders and invited him, or was told that he was available and invited him.

The absolutely stupid 'talking point' that Clinton bots are circulating that this wasn't an invitation from Pope Francis is for the ignorant--a group they often play to.

(Note: And this may NOT be a rejection of Clinton. She may not have thought of notifying them that she was available. Since she's the Goldman Sachs candidate, probably she wouldn't consider it. She might get criticized there. But she's a spinning top, so who knows? I doubt very much that the Vatican would have rejected her, if she'd told them she was available. Instead she's doing a Fat Cat fundraiser. Oh well.)

eom

I had no idea

Back in the day, Catholics avoided birth control, but I thought they were making their own choices now. If not, that could help explain the higher numbers.

But, whatever, it's good that Bernie's connecting with the Vatican.
