Regarding a moral and just economy and concern for the poor as well as their agreement that climate change is a dangerous man made reality that threatens all life on earth and must be addressed.

He was acting improperly because he didn't spend his time there screaming obscenities as the Pontiff regarding the church's antiquated views on some social issue that the Church and Sanders disagree on.

When you meet they pope, (they appear to believe), one should show hatred and toss insults at him, therefore, Sanders was negligent and does not understand proper diplomatic behavior regarding meeting the Pope.

I infer they contend that a true states-person like Clinton would have treated Pope Francis as an evil dictator worthy of scorn, confrontation and derision.

Understandable as many Clinton supporters (especially her financial supporters) do idolize money and eschew economic morality and since the pontiff insulted their God (money) they are quite outraged on the stances he has taken regarding their golden calf and the sacrifice of a living world and it's inhabitants their God demands must be fed to their Demi-God the fossil fuel industry (an important part of their idol pantheon) in order for it to obtain it's billions as tribute.
