76. You were not involved in any of his possible conversations with his advisor

Sun Apr 10, 2016, 11:09 PM

Apr 2016

or the Chancellor, or anyone in Rome. You don't know if his advisor (who is one of the speakers at the conference) suggested to him he might get to meet the Pope.

So, just curious. How are all of you accusers going to feel if he does get to meet with the Pope.

I bet there won't be an apology out of any one of you.
