Bernie Sanders, "Bernie Sanders: I annotated a speech by Pope Francis", Washington Post, (April 15, 2016).

When the pope speaks about "change," he is not talking about modest reforms or tinkering around the edges. He is talking about radical changes as to how the global economy functions, and in how we relate to the planet and to each other. Most importantly, he understands the urgency of the moment. We need real change now.
