Sanders arrives in Rome to attend Vatican conference
MSN News ^ | April 15, 2016 | KEN THOMAS,

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders arrived in Rome on Friday to attend a Vatican conference steeped in his lifelong passions of economic and social justice, briefly departing New York just days before its critical primary to show solidarity with the teachings of Pope Francis.

Sanders made the trip hours after Thursday night's Brooklyn debate with rival Hillary Clinton and said the opportunity to address the Vatican conference was too meaningful to pass up. The roughly 24-hour visit will precede a crucial New York primary against the former secretary of state on Tuesday.

So now Pope Francis and the Vatican hierarchy are inviting communist Sanders to help formulate church policy.

Sanders favors partial birth abortion, totalitarianism and governments that persecute and imprison Catholics and deny religious freedom to their people.

The hierarchy are no longer men of God. They are evil. The hierarchy has been infiltrated and taken over by evil men.

Since Sanders is in the area, why doesn’t the Pope make him a cardinal? Bernie Cardinal Sanders does have a nice ring to it, and it would makes as much sense as anything else Francis has done.

BS is a perfect example of somebody who’s a total failure in all the useful occupations of life, so he goes into politics.

pretty sure Sanders got the Catholic vote here in Chicago.

I haven’t seen any numbers, but my hunch is he did.

They voted Obama, and usually don’t see a socialist they don’t like.

Amazing how that church has changed since I was a young boy.

No matter how much he snuggles and cuddles with gay couples, tranny couples, and abortionists, PF just can’t get enough. We’ll see if the current plan not to meet with Sanders holds. Cardinal Maradiaga has announced he supports partial-birth-abortion-supporting Sanders.

Not so. The Bern is going to attend a conference on Social and Economic Justice - no Pope. Nor is there any indication that Bern has a meeting.

Have to hand it to that old guy, Bernie. After a long grueling debate with Hilliay he hops on a 8 hour flight to Rome and gives a huge speech shortly after arriving. He has a lot more energy than I.

But thats all I admire.

Sanders was invited to participate in a Conference on Social and Economic policy in the Vatican. The conference was organized by a Vatican advisory group comparable to a think tank that Francis appointed to guide him on a wide range of public policy issues.

The chancellor for the pontifical academy, Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, has said he invited Sanders because he was the only U.S. presidential candidate who showed deep interest in the teachings of Francis.

Sander's would not be there if the Vatican and Pope Francis did not agree with Sander's positions on Communism and Sander's support of totalitarian governments that persecute and imprison Catholics.

Sanders would not have been invited if they did not approve of his position on partial birth abortion.

The hierarchy and Pope Francis are evil men.

“His lifelong passions of economic and social injustice”

Typical liberal has the guts to use religion to distort his views......on the day Bernie Sanders accepts the teachings of Jesus Christ such as marriage between a man and a woman only, as well as condemnation of abortion and murder of a human being......then I would believe his sincerity.

Pandering to the substantial NY Catholic vote since HRC is a self-proclaimed Methodist, Bernie sees an opening here. Good move, although I am not a Bernie fan I loathe the Clintons and would love to see her and Bill lose again.

* So now Pope Francis and the Vatican hierarchy are inviting communist Sanders to help formulate church policy.
Sanders favors partial birth abortion, totalitarianism and governments that persecute and imprison Catholics and deny religious freedom to their people.

The hierarchy are no longer men of God. They are evil. The hierarchy has been infiltrated and taken over by evil men.*

Pope : “Hey Bernie, I’m glad to see you’re on board with the whole destruction of the Western World thing.”

Sanders : “Oh yes Pontiff, I’m trying to fool the ignorant masses with the Global Warming Hoax just like you are. The dummies don’t expect a pope to lie.”

Pope : “Call me ‘Frankie’. You know, Bernie, my grade school nun used to say, ‘Once you start lying it becomes easier and easier!’

She was right! I can lie about Climate “science” all day long and I don’t feel guilty about it at all anymore.

Sanders : “Frankie, when are you gonna tell ‘em you’re an atheist?”

Pope : “If they’re too stupid to figure that out after all my lies and promoting godless Communist, WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK!!!”
