Sen. Bernie Sanders “privately met with Pope Francis at the pontiff’s residence in Vatican City on Saturday morning before the pope left on a trip for Greece,” Politico reports.
“Sanders thanked the pope for his leadership on issues including the ‘moral economy,’ the struggle to help the marginalized, income inequality, and climate change, telling the pontiff his encyclical on the matter had made a large difference to public attitudes, according to Sachs.“
