Who said it:

Bernie Sanders or the Pope?

A few years ago ago, a pope profusely praised democratic socialism, calling the political platform a close fit with the Catholic Church’s social agenda.

That Pope was Benedict XVI, a man known for his forceful defense of Catholic orthodoxy.

The point is, even conservative popes pushed liberal economic policies long before Francis arrived in Rome. But few have captured the media’s attention like the Argentine Jesuit.

Count Bernie Sanders among Francis’ hallelujah choir. The Vermont senator, an avowed democratic socialist, has repeatedly praised the Pope, calling his outspoken critique of capitalism and defense of the environment a gift from You Know Who.

“I think that the Pope is playing an historical role coming at exactly the right moment in human history, where his voice is having a profound impact, not only on our country, but all over the world,” Sanders told Salt and Light, a Canadian Catholic media ministry.

The Pope and Sanders don’t agree on everything, abortion and same-sex marriage being among the biggest points of conflict. But on economic and environmental issues at least, the Catholic prelate and secular Jewish senator sometimes sound like long, lost soulmates. Take a look below, for instance, and see if you can tell which man uttered the quote in question.
