Hillary does not need a trip to the Vatican to validate herself. (HRC GROUP)

[Kath1]

She has already done so in years of work for women's rights, children's rights, choice and contraception.

Her position on these issues is clear.

She does not care about the Pope or the Catholic church.

And many Catholics and ex-Catholics like myself applaud her for this.

[Cha]

1. She wouldn't go spending her campaign donors' money on plane ride to Rome in the middle of a

primary election. She would stay right where she is.. talking to the people in Harlem here and all of New York.

I think she cares about the Pope for the good he's done especially compared to the last Pope but she certainly wouldn't agree with him on his stance on Gays and a Woman's choice.

She cares about everybody. Mahalo for your OP. Kath~

[Kath1]

3. Thank you, Cha.

She is doing an excellent job right here.

As an ex-Catholic woman, I have a particular disrespect for anyone who panders to the Vatican.

Anyone can get a marriage annulment for the right amount of money. I didn't have it.

That's cool. That radicalized me, made me get into feminism and educate myself.

[Cha]

6. Funny that.. how our paths get us to where we are in life.

You radical you!

I can imagine.. I was taking "catechism" for a bit because I was engaged to an Italian boy from Detroit.. I dropped out, though.. it wasn't for me and we broke up.. for other reasons.

I still miss him, however.. so sweet!

[Kath1]

11. So sweet! Such a nice personal story!

Indeed it is, Cha.

Love is a wonderful thing.

Italian boy from Detroit probably still misses you, too.

[Cha]

12. Out there in the Universe somewhere..

Love is a Wonderful thing and it always wins in the end, Kath

[Kath1]

13. Yes, it does!

I have similar stories.

No regrets.

Peace, sister!

[Kath1]

14. Love wins!

[Cha]

15. Mahalo for this, Kath!

I can't wait!

[Kath1]

16. Neither can I!

Especially for the first woman president and someone so qualified and resolute in her beliefs.

It will be a beautiful day!

2. I don't understand what he thought he would get out of it?

I got no problems with anyone going to the Vatican, but all he got was a T-shirt pretty much.
A note is nice, but not to have a face to face meeting with Francis and go all that way?????

[SunSeeker]

7. They're trying to spin it as if him reading a 10-min. version of his stump speech was "historic."

Like the world has never heard of wealthy inequality before. Guess Francis better get on that now that Saint Sanders has shown him the way.

[pandr32]

9. The whole stunt is meant to give him some more international "cred"

...in the voter's eyes--making him appear as a more serious candidate, and to help with swaying a few Catholic voters in the Northeast IMO.

[Kath1]

17. I guess he thinks it will get Catholic votes.

Just my 2 cents.

[hrc guy]

4. Amen!

(Pun intended.)

[BainsBane]

5. Nor does she need to leave the country before a major primary.

This is a Hail Mary if I ever saw one. It, however, will not work.

[EileenFB]

10. You are pathetic

[stonecutter357]

18. K&R!

[Walk away]

19. Can you imagine Hillary stalking the Pope to the lobby and trapping him into a 5 minute....

unwelcomed meeting??? Never! The Sanders are whackos! The Pope needs better security!

[Kath1]

20. Never in a million years.

Yes, the Pope does need better security.

[Her Sister]

21. Cannot imagine that!

Something about what happened is just not cool at all....

[IamMab]

22. Unfortunately, the media is eating the Sanders bullshit right up. It's a headline all over the place

With no real focus on the ambush aspect of the meeting at all.

Jesus fucking Christ, the manipulation worked. Sanders gets away with bum-rushing the Pope in a hallway.
