We're delighted to host this conference to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Centesimus Annus,
bringing together world leaders, including US Senator Sanders, Ecuadorean President Rafael
Correa, Bolivian President Evo Morales, Academicians of the Pontifical Academy of Social
Sciences such as its President Margaret Archer, and leading scholars such as Professor Daniel
Finn, Professor Jeffrey Sachs etc., to examine and discuss changes in politics, economics, and
culture in the world these last 25 years in the light of Pope Francis' new encyclical Laudato si'.
Our intention is socio-political in the highest sense of the term, because according to art. 1 of
our Statutes, the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences was established by the Holy Father John
Paul II on 1 January 1994 with the aim of promoting the study and progress of the social
sciences, primarily economics, sociology, law and political science.

1. Sanders isn't a 'world leader.' Never will be.

Donald Trump has gotten more votes and is closer to being a 'world leader,' sadly.

3. Then take it up with the Vatican if you have a problem with what they wrote.

I'm sure they will be thrilled to hear your whining.

5. Then I guess you have nothing to worry about.

7. You got that right

I'm hoping he gets defeated by a Democrat for Senate in 2018. Or hopefully he'll retire.

2. Such wonderful news. . . . great to be on the right side of history AND religion

4. Good for Bernie. When Pope visited the US, Bernie was not shy in expressing support

for the Pontiff's leadership on climate change & income inequality. It makes sense
that they confer, share ideas, etc.

It's a shame some feel so desperately compelled to turn it into some faux-scandal & uglify it.
