53. So, there was a bit of politicking on both sides..

#1. The world gets to see a candidate who is speaking of a moral economy. One who believes around the world and in the USA, the meek should inherit the world.

#2. It was not a visual mistake on the part of the conference to have him sitting and interacting so well with President Evo Morales. This brings an eye to South American relations and being less "invasive" with our regime changes and nastiness we've interfered into.

#3. The Pope chose to go the next day to meet with refugees from Syria. And he flew a few of them with him. The media actually paid attention to his schedule and his direct contact with people who have been forced to flee their homeland due to war and violence. Which the USA and other countries are directly responsible for helping to create in their own chaos making regime changing, heavy handed interferences in that region. It's a big issue in Eurpope right now and has little recognition in the USA because basically we have Trump being reported on everytime he farts.

#4. That meeting of one another as they were both departing for their own "uphill battles" for morality and justice, was purposeful in stirring the media up as they parted from Vatican City.

So, what did the press do? Interviewed Bernie about the experience at the Varican with that back drop for the major networks. And of course the press wanted the Pope's take on all of it, and he focused on his cause. There is NO WAY that the press in America or maybe around the world, would have focused a story about the Pope helping Syrian refugees if Bernie hadn't been at the Vatican. And the US has done a great deal to help create those refugees. It's all a bit of politicking, but this time for really good, moral causes.

And no matter about all the crap people are trying to make this into as a negative, the world has a positive look at this, met an actually noble candidate, and having a Vatican invite over all other candidates is more than telling the world whom this Pope would prefer to meet next as President and that perhaps the world may just become a bit more fairer is possible. Hope!
