69.5 million members, it is the largest religious body in the United States, comprising 22% of the population as of 2015.

[Motown_Johnny]

3. Maybe Hillary should go too

She could speak about an immoral economy, just so both sides are presented.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Well, fair is fair.

[Motown_Johnny]

8. Although

There is the possibility that she would burst into flames were she to enter the Vatican.

We wouldn't want that.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Don't think it works this way, which is too bad, because I am sure there are a lot

of bad clergy over there who have been hiding the child molestation issue.

[Segami]

9. Yes,...in fairness, all sides should be well represented...

[k8conant]

14. I think you meant immoral but maybe she could push the present MORTAL economy

[Motown_Johnny]

17. Sorry on my tablet

Auto correct got me.

[pdsimdars]

27. She could give her "moral" argument for supporting brutal dictators and killing innocent civilians

[artislife]

48. Crossfire! nt

[GreatGazoo]

Bill Clinton's gaffes, Hillary insulting voters, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, visits from adorable birds and now this!

[Waiting For Everyman]

23. The Pope is a BernieBro!!!

This is YUGE!!!


This news needs a tune...

One is never enough...

[Surya Gayatri]

24. His "invite" to the Vatican is nothing, if not ironic.

He's going to advocate for the poor and disposessed, just like he did back in Vermont in the 1980's and 90's. Riiiight...

SEVEN DAYS
Vermont's Independent Voice

By Peter Freyne

October 16, 1996

EL CHEAPO!

Sanders is making more money than at any time in his life but gives next to nothing to charity organizations. This leads Peter Freyne to reminisce about Bernie's early mayoral charity-trashing speech to the United Way.

He's the only independent in Congress, the self-proclaimed champion of "poor people, working people and the elderly," and he wears his politics on his sleeve.
...

But some things never change: Bernie Sanders is still a cheapskate.
...

Revolutionary zeal was all the rage, and no one who was there will ever forget that memorable day at the Ramada Inn in 1981 when Mayor Sanders was invited to address the kickoff of the United Way campaign.

Ol' Bernardo couldn't conceal the contempt he held for all those well-dressed do-gooders. His infamous, in-your-face "I Don't Believe In Charity" speech knocked 'em on their tushes.

25. .....

[Surya Gayatri]

26. Thanks. I like "red globe" best.

[pdsimdars]

35. but it seems all you have is the sour ones.

how sad

[Surya Gayatri]

36. There are lots of really sweet ones...usually the darker the color, the sweeter.

[floppyboo]

32. Is this suggesting public service is 'worthle$$'?

Lots of folks out there giving! Giving is more than monetary

[Surya Gayatri]

34. You'll have to ask Bernie. He gave the speech trashing the concept of charity.

[Ichingcarpenter]

40. You do realize the Seven Day Adventist were major supporters of Hitler in Germany

and his policies against the jews?




Let's see what The Adventist Morning Watch Calendar of December, 1939, had to say about the great Adolph Hitler:

"Trust in his people has given the Fuhrer the strength to carry through the fight for freedom and honour of Germany. The unshakable faith of Adolf Hitler allowed him to do great deeds, which decorate him today before the whole world. Selflesslyand faithfully he has struggled for his people; courageously and proudly he has defended the honour of his nation. In Christian humility, at important times when he could celebrate with his people, he gave God in Heaven the honour and recognized his dependence upon God's blessings. This humility has made him great, and this greatness was the source of blessing, from which he always gave for his people. Only very few statesmen stand so brilliantly in the sun of a blessed life, and are so praised by their own people as our Fuhrer. He has sacrificed much in the years of his struggle and has thought little about himself in the difficult work for his people. We compare the unnumbered words, which he has issued to the people from a warm heart, with seeds which have ripened and now carry wonderful fruit."

And now this, from the May 2005 issue of the German publication Adventist Echo:

"Noting the sixtieth anniversary of the end of WWII, Seventh-day Adventist church leaders in Germany and Austria have released a declaration saying they "deeply regret" any participation in or support of Nazi activities during the war. The church bodies "honestly confess" a failure in "following our Lord" by not protecting Jews, and others, from that era's genocide, widely known as the Holocaust. Millions of people perished from war atrocities, including more than 6 million Jews who were exterminated in Nazy persecutions during the 12-year period of 1933 to 1945."

From the Adventist Review:

"We deeply regret that the character of National Socialist dictatorship had not been realized in time and distinctly enough, and the ungodly nature of [Nazi] ideology had not clearly been identified," the statement, as translated from German, reads. The church says it also regrets "that in some of our publications . . . there were found articles glorifying Adolf Hitler and agreeing with the ideology of anti-Semitism in a way that is unbelievable from today's [perspective]."

Church leaders also expressed regret that "our peoples became associated with racial fanaticism destroying the lives and freedom of 6 million Jews and representatives of minorities in all of Europe" and "that many Seventh-day Adventists did not share the need and suffering of their Jewish fellow-citizens."

29. expect camp clinton to start in on how the pope should stick to religion

because he doesn't know about economics, said in a condescending tone of course....

[pdsimdars]

33. What an inspiration. . . what a sign of hope . .. the forces of good are recognizing each other

and supporting each other.

only a matter of time . . . . . . .3 . . . . . . 2. . . . . . .1

until they call the Pope "sexist".

[pdsimdars]

37. The funny thing is. . . I think I should feel sad

for all the Hillary supporters who have to figure out a way to throw mud at the Pope. . . . but I don't really feel sorry for them. That's the position they have created for themselves, to smear the good things in the world.

I would think it should be a time to reconsider your position, when you find yourself on the wrong side.

[pdsimdars]

39. Thanks for the clip too. . . It is hard to say how moving that is. . . how IMPORTANT it is

not to mention how timely . . . .

[DrDan]

41. do you have a link showing the Pope extended the invitation?

[floppyboo]

44. didn't you see the bird?

[thesquanderer]

43. Holy #$%! Literally! (n/t)

[geek tragedy]

45. leaving the country 4 days before the NY primary?

NY internal polling must not look too good.

[JackRiddler]

46. As desperate as when Obama went to Berlin.

And he didn't even get an invitation from the King of Prussia.

[floppyboo]

49. You're absolutely right!

Too bad Hillary was booked or she'd be heading to California - oh, wait - she is!

The Bay Area fundraiser, hosted at the home of venture capitalist Shervin Pishevar, is one of two events starring the Clooneys. On April 16, Clinton and the Clooneys will reunite at the Clooney Los Angeles mansion, where tickets cost $33,400 per person to dine at the table with one of Hollywood’s most glamorous couples.
