Bernie's rising, no matter how often they repeat their lies. Yes, he was invited to the Vatican by an arm of the Vatican. No, you cannot "invite yourself" to activities and conferences the Vatican: what do you think it is, a Starbucks or a Ramada Inn?
You'll have to try harder if you want your lies to work.

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was invited to speak at an April 15 Vatican event by the Vatican, a senior papal official said on Friday, denying a report that Sanders had invited himself.
"I deny that. It was not that way," Monsignor Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo told Reuters in a telephone interview while he was traveling in New York. Sorondo, a close aide to Pope Francis, is chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, which is hosting the event.
He said it was his idea to invite Sanders.

(1,267 posts)Post your source that says Bernie contacted the Vatican BEGGING to be allowed to attend this conference.
ps......applying to attend a conference is NOT "begging for an invitation." I apply to attend them all the time -- sometimes my application is accepted, sometimes it's not. Attendance is ALWAYS limited by space available, so not everyone who applies to attend receives an invitation.

Bottom line - the invitation would not have been extended unless the Pope agreed to it.

(8,727 posts)This is not true and she knows it. I invited him with her consensus," said Sorondo, who is senior to Archer.
An invitation to Sanders dated March 30, which was emailed to Reuters, was signed by Sorondo and also included Archer's name.

So, Sanders name drops the pope-the Vatican calls him on his big fish story--and then Sanders drops the word -pope-the next time he speaks. got it!

.............Respect for Pope
Sanders earlier on Friday said, this is an invitation from the Vatican, from a pope that I have enormous respect for in term of the level of consciousness that hes raising on the need to have morality in our economy."
The office of the pope moved quickly to distance the pontiff from Sanderss visit. Father Federico Lombardi, the Popes spokesman, said Sanders had been invited not by the pope but by the pontifical academy of social sciences. Lombardi told the Italian news agency Ansa: For the moment there is no expectation that there will also be a meeting with the pope.
.................
Sanders told reporters in New York on Friday that he is very excited about this invitation from the Vatican to participate in a major conference dealing with how we can inject morality into todays economy..................

(42,862 posts)Why would he say something that wasn't true? Was he confused? Did he only look at the postmark and ASSUME it was directly from the Pope. (I'd think that something that came directly from the Pope would at LEAST have a wax seal and be written in calligraphy on parchment.)
