Bill Clinton at the Vatican

And to sweeten the pot, he brought along the son and heir of George Soros. Both men are strongly pro-abortion, but they didn’t exactly come see “His Holiness” for absolution. So why would Vil visit the Vatican? It’s unclear — there’s always the photo-op and a certain amount of favorable publicity, but you can bet Billy boy has some scheme going, like he’s had practically all his life.

And why would the pope play along with such a character? Well, he’s played along with worse, even if he thought it was a good thing. Bergoglio may mean well, but you know what they say about good intentions, and his discernment appears distinctly poor — a rather serious deficit in someone in his position.

The private audience (with photos and video for publication) took place this week at the pope’s residence. Clinton’s entourage of about a dozen included his son-in-law (but not his wife or daughter) and Alex Soros, who claims to be more political than his father (assuming that’s possible) and plans to have a larger focus on US domestic politics.
