Migrant crisis: Pope to visit troubled Lesbos next week

7 April 2016
From the section Europe



Pope Francis will visit the Greek island of Lesbos on 16 April to meet migrants, in a sign of concern about Europe's handling of the crisis.

The Vatican said the Pope had been invited to Lesbos by the Eastern Orthodox Patriarch, Bartholomew I.

It was a gesture of "solidarity" with migrants - many of them Syrian refugees - in a "difficult, dramatic situation" in the region, the Vatican said.

2. So he will miss Bernie at the Vatican?

What a shame.

3. He should be there on the 15th but I doubt he will meet him.

4. If Bernie

leaves the USA on the 15th, he'll arrive in Rome on the 16th. That is if he flys commercial. So there ya go, no Pope. (of course, he could fly on a private jet, but wouldn't that wreck his cleaner than clean, purer than pure image?)

5. He's taking a plane??? I thought he would be walking there on the water!

7. It's a little far to walk

6. Isn't BS a self-described agnostic? How can he possibly associate himself with the pope, without

bringing more attention to his own faith, which he has been downplaying for the entire election cycle. He clearly knows that it is a big turn off for many voters, and seems to be fine letting people assume his is religiously Jewish.

This is why his recent lies and attacks are relevant. He describes his faith in terms of morality. Yeah, right.

8. No Pope photo, no trip. nt

9. Yep, that's what I'm thinking. No photo op to impress the many Catholics in NY. What a scam.

How disgusting to use a religions to further your political ambitions. I bet he'll end up not going. He's not going to get anything out of going to a academic conference except losing a couple of days of campaigning.

10. After Kim Davis, they're not going to let political opportunists use the Pope

as a weapon in an election.

Jeff Weaver outsmarted himself, which to be fair is pretty easy to do.
