Actual Pope quote incoming
“This morning as I was leaving, Senator Sanders was there,” Francis said. “He knew I was coming out at that time, and he had the kindness to greet me.”
“When I came down, he introduced himself, I greeted him with a handshake, and nothing more,” the pope added. “It’s common courtesy, this is called common courtesy.
“If someone thinks that greeting someone is getting involved in politics,” he said, “I recommend that they find a psychiatrist.”
Apparently, the invite was from the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, not the Pope. They basically shook hands this morning since they were in the same place and that's about it when it comes to the Pope. He did have a 10-minute speech at the conference, but the Pope wasn't at it.
It's super confusing and there have been a million versions of the story around but that seems to be the official stance from the Vatican at the moment.

This is a weird story. But the pope invited Bernie to this conference, correct? It just seems like there's some narrative fail somewhere.
thank you, I thought it was just me
Yeah, I'm totally lost.
