Pope Francis Cites Travel Plans for Not Greeting Bernie Sanders and Others at Vatican City Event

VATICAN CITY — Senator Bernie Sanders did not get to meet with Pope Francis inside Vatican City on Friday, but it’s not because the pontiff didn’t want to.

Pope Francis sent a handwritten note to those attending a conference at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, including Mr. Sanders, saying he had planned to stop by the event around 7 p.m. local time, but could not because of a planned trip to the Greek island of Lesbos.

The note was sent to Msgr. Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, a senior papal official and the academy’s chancellor, who read the pope’s words: “Yesterday I realized that today was going to be very complicated because of my trip to Lesbos. Today I confirm this situation and would like to apologize for not being able to attend. I kindly ask you to greet the speakers and participants, requesting their understanding for this situation. I will keep them all in my prayers and good wishes, and send them my heartfelt thanks for their participation. May the Lord bless you. Fraternally, Franciscus.”

Jew boy should have kept his mouth shut when he got an audience with the Pope. The Pope is not his personal prop. Dillhole.
