You and your fuzzy math.
"He wants to get rid of the corruption in investments. Not the investments themselves." I don't know how any simpler this statement can be, but it will still be denied by the Clinton sheep.

(3,040 posts)He is just against the corrupt and illegal actions of the big banks and corporations that are hurting the middle and lower class citizens. Thus, of course, he is for investments he is just fighting against the system being rigged for the few billionaires to the detriment of the 99%.

(2,054 posts)You don't mind the Clintons collecting tens of millions of dollars from their corporate and Wall Street benefactors but you don't think people should make a few thousand bucks a year on retirement investments.
I get it.

(2,054 posts)Bernie was there from the beginning.
And Bernie has clearly made known his differences with the Pope on gay marriage.
You're just here to throw more crap against the wall hoping some will stick.
It won't work.
Go ahead and support your Wall Street candidate.
Maybe you're rich.

Even with all the proof to the opposite of this:
"kinda sad she will not be hanging out with the gay bashing woman haters in Rome eh?"
Isn't there a video of Hillary bashing gays around 10 responses down from yours?
Still confused?
Didn't you complain about Bernie talking about money Idolatry and speaking from the Vatican as hypocrisy but you can't see your own?
Yes the Vatican is rich but they have been around for a hell of a lot longer than Hillary. If I had hundreds of years to exist, I'd be fucking rich too. Of course Hillary took a shortcut somewhere in her life of Public Service.
But I guess the presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton would make the best Goldman Sachs Ambassador and most knowledgeable professional about the idolatry of money.
If I were a country, I wouldn't exist if I couldn't defend myself, which takes money.
So all nations are corrupt?
What's the point of your comment, if it made any sense I would have left it alone.

So when did she meet with Pope Francis and Pope Benedict?

(6,323 posts)What might be going on behind the scenes.
It's no mystery that Pope Francis is trying to move the church into a different direction. To a more liberal all inclusive position on things like the LGBT community, wealth accumulation, perceptions on other religions, etc.
But we all fail to see that the old guard (not unlike another situation) does not like change. It's been expressed in the media and I'm not going to look for it, we're all adults and I'm sure one can find it if they look as I've seen it multiple times.
Here's an action that seems to align with this "Theory".

I'll state the obvious, there is conflict within the church.
Whomever was or was not invited to the vatican to speak on whatever subject and all the hubbub around it only seems to solidify the fact that the conflict in the Vatican is being played out.
A very liberal and consequential leader being undermined by the more comfortable conservative followers.
I don't see anything different playing out if Bernie wins the Presidency.
