http://www.thenation.com/article/mr-sanders-goes-to-the-vatican/
?I do not know what Sanders will say to this Pontifical Academy. But I know one thing, from having actively supported Pope Francis US trip. There is one sentence Francis wrote but dared not express during his speech to the US Congress. That sentence was: Politics cannot be a slave to the economy and finance. We dont know who the next US president will be, but I hope that Sanders pronounces this sentence loudly enough so that he can be heard urbi et orbi.
In the challenges the world is facing today, from extremism to violence and the next financial crisis, the last thing we need is an American democracy still enslaved by the powers of money. The land of the free deserves better. If Sanders goes to the Vatican to hammer this point, it might be a counterintuitive campaign move, but he will find a friendly and supportive audience there.
