Pope Francis: Will he finally come back to Argentina?

Buenos Aires, Argentinien - The Catholic bishops of Argentina put great hopes in an upcoming visit to Pope Francis in his home country. According to the chairman of the Argentine Bishops' Conference, Marcelo Daniel Colombo, there is a mutual wish for a meeting, but the exact date remains uncertain. "We know that he wants it and that we want it," emphasized the Archbishop of Mendoza. However, the Pope's future schedule is very busy due to the upcoming Holy Year and already planned trips. This information was published by the Catholic News Agency, which states that the Pope has a special connection to Argentina and that a visit is a matter of the heart for him and he would like to implement it as soon as possible, such as kathpress.at reported .

In a important meeting on Monday in the Vatican, Pope Francis and Argentine President Javier Milei had a remarkably long conversation that took 70 minutes. Such meetings usually do not last longer than 50 minutes. During this time there were no translations, which underlines familiarity between the two Argentine. As a gift, Milei brought the Pope to his favorite sweetness - covered with chocolate "Alfajores". During the conversation, Milei presented his plans to cope with the serious economic crisis in Argentina and emphasized the importance of good state church relationships. Media had speculated in advance whether he would invite Francis to visit his home country again. The Pope, who has not been in Argentina since his election in March 2013, recently said that a trip there was a "hypothesis" for him. These experiences were documented by katholisch.de .
