Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has accepted an invitation from the Pope to the Vatican.Mr Sanders, who is Jewish, accepted an invitation to Rome for a conference at the end of next week.
The Vatican visit is four days before the primary contest in New York, a competitive battle between him and front-runner Hillary Clinton.
Mr Sanders said he was not sure whether he would meet the Pope but he was a big fan of the pontiff.
The Vermont senator said they share the same views on inequality.

Well that is pretty cool. One of the most progressive popes who espouses liberation theology invites one of the most progressive candidate the Democrats have put forward in decades. [/FONT][/COLOR]

Can Bernie afford to be off the trail for that long or is this a campaign move?
Methinks the Catholics would seriously like a pope do-over.

He probably thinks Obama won because he went to Europe. And it probably is worth a vote or two.
Probably not. They aren't in favor of child rape like the Pope.Think the Pope might also extend an invitation to trump or cruz ?
He'd be crazy not to meet with him in some manner!Read more @: US election: Bernie Sanders invited to Vatican by Pope

You have a source for this?Probably not. They aren't in favor of child rape like the Pope.

One of Hillary Clinton's core groups is blue collar Catholics, and this would seem to strike at the heart!
Go Bernie! Go! :thumbs:

Traveling to the Pope after a hoped-for New York win IS on the campaign trail.
The traveling USA media horde and the European press will make sure of that.
Very shrewd move by the Sanders camp, with Catholic-rich Pennsylvania coming up on April 26th.
Not to mention other northeastern Catholic-rich states like MD, DE, CT, and RI going off on the 26th.
Maybe Chameleon Chrissy Matthews, well-know Philadelphia Catholic, will tag along.
Think GOPundits would be whining about the Pope's meddling in our politics if he had invited Clinton ?
I hope Bernie slaughters Clinton no matter what else happens.
But the invitation was actually made by Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, the chancellor of the pontifical academy, an autonomous institution that receives some funding from the Holy See but is not officially part of it.

Lot's of people are mad at The Vatican protecting pedophiles. I have it on good authority that there was outrcy about child rape by catholic priests before Trump even announced he was running. Perhaps you should check the news?Of course he doesn't---his boy trump is all mad at the Pope.
They just make it up on the fly as trump does .
I'm a Catholic and I'm glad the Pope has invited Sanders over.
