Related: About this forumDonald Trump mocks Bernie Sanders' meeting with Pope Francis
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is mocking the brief meeting Bernie Sanders had with Pope Francis Friday, which the GOP front-runner said was a short "five minutes."
"You know, he went to see the pope," Trump said of Sanders during a rally in Syracuse, New York Saturday. "Five minutes. Then he came out. He said, 'We talked about the environment, we talked about global warming, we talked about all these different things.'"
"And I said, wait a minute, he was only there five minutes," Trump added. "So the pope gave him five minutes. I wonder why the pope gave him five -- he shouldn't have given him that much time really."

Trump's comments on the Vatican audience are not the first time the New York business mogul has butted heads with Pope Francis.
In February, after the pope implied that some of Trump's immigration policies were un-Christian, Trump called it "disgraceful" that a religious figurehead would question anyone's faith.
"The pope said something to the effect that maybe Donald Trump isn't Christian, okay? And he's questioning my faith, I was very surprised to see it," Trump said earlier this year. "For a religious leader to question a person's faith is disgraceful."
