Your inference Berine managed to allude Vatican Security and the Swiss Guard and get into the Popes living quarters...ok

Man that Bernie has mad skills...that explains how he has been able to sneak up on Hillary and liquidate most of her double digit leads so effectively.

(Too often I can't resist either. I almost responded to this OP. DNFTEC is as much an admonition to myself as it is an attempt to discourage others from taking the bait.)

He shook his hand. The Pope explicitly said anyone who takes his shaking the hand of someone standing in front of his as a political endorsement ought to "look for a psychiatrist." http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/04/16/bernie-sanders-met-pope-francis/83118290/

"When I came down, I greeted him, I shook his hand and nothing more. This is called good manners and it is not getting involved in politics," the pope said, according to Reuters. "If anyone thinks that greeting someone is getting involved in politics, I recommend that he look for a psychiatrist," he said, laughing.

This was more than a casual handshake -- These were kindred spirits
