I'm not surprised by this. In fact, I wonder what took the Pope so long to issue Sanders an invite.

Pope Che is friends with a fellow traveler in Marxism.

How nice.

So let’s see. Donald Trump isn’t Christian because he wants to build a border wall. But Socialist Sanders gets an audience with the Pope. This Pope disgusts me.

I get the bad feeling that a Sunday homily is coming where I am going to be told it’s a Mortal Sin not to vote for him.

This guy really does want to be the last pope, doesn’t he?

Obama kills America, the Pope kills Catholicism. Next time elect a NBC.

I actually feel bad for Bernie here. On one hand he'll be meeting with a fellow open-borders socialist. But on the other hand, Bernie will certainly notice that most of the Vatican is bounded by huge walls.

That fundamental inconsistency will trouble Bernie greatly!

Oh, wait. Socialists aren't bothered by fundamental inconsistencies. Never mind.

“This guy really does want to be the last pope, doesn’t he?”

______________________________________________

This pope is to catholicism what obama is to America.

They are both doing their damndest to destroy (”change”) that with which they’ve been trusted.

I’m sure BS will find a kindred spirit in the Vatican.

Last pope is supposed to be Peter II, according to the prophecies of St. Malachy. There are no prophecies between Benedict XVI and Peter II. That does NOT mean there will be no popes; only that they won’t be Catholic. Francis sure fits the bill.

This Pope makes me sick. He needs to remember that he’s responsible for the Church (which seems to be the least of his concerns) and stop trying to be the Head Leftist of the Universe.

I really cannot stand him. He’s a smarmy leftwing statist hypocrite, in my opinion.
