Pope Francis declared that he planned to visit Argentina shortly after six years of his appointment

The dad Francisco said today that he hoped to visit "soon" in Argentina, even though it is unlikely during the election year. Jorge Bergoglio has not returned to his native country since his appointment as Supreme Pontiff on March 13, 2013, after the resignation of Benedict XVI. However, on several occasions he was very close geographically: he went to Brazil as part of World Youth Day 2013; Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador and Cuba in 2015; Mexico in 2016; and Chile in 2018.

During a trip to Morocco, the Holy Father continued his usual interview with the journalists. In particular, he was invited to indicate that he planned to visit his country of origin, where he was last seen in 2013 with the Archbishop of Buenos Aires. Aires and primate cardinal of Argentina.

"We'll see if I can go soon," Francisco said shortly thereafter, but on other occasions he had expressed the same feeling in referring to his planned trip.

However, this time, the response took on particular importance because it took place after the bishops of the Episcopal Conference of Argentina (CEA) had planned, a few weeks ago, that they would meet with the Pope between the end of April and the beginning of May. The Vatican will propose "not to deprive oneself of the joy" of visiting Argentina for the first time of its pontificate.

"We imagine the joy that Francisco had when he decided on the canonization of the holy Cura Brochero, the beatification of Mama Antula and that of the martyrs of Riojano.When we meet him again, we will propose once again that He did not deprive himself of the joy of visiting us, "they expressed the purpurados, in a kind of invitation to Argentina.
