They discourage in the Vatican a possible visit of Francisco in Argentina

In the near environment of

Francisco

Discourage expectations of a possible visit to Argentina.

Tensions stemming from the economic and social crisis that surrounds the country, the growing political temperature that will generate the electoral climate and, at the same time, cold relations with President Mauricio Macri, make it difficult to the illusion of many people. Catholics become reality.

"It is difficult for the pope today to solve a visit to Argentina for next year.Although the expectations are great, the possibilities are limited, we must not lose sight of the political context of the the Argentine reality, for the moment, "he told LA NACION, a source close to the Holy Father, who visits him several times a year in Rome.

The expectation of a possible trip to Argentina was evoked when the Argentine bishops announced, three weeks ago, that they would personally convey to the pope the express wish that they "would not do not deprive them of the joy "of going to their homeland, when they will see it during the visit
ad limina at the Vatican, which will be divided into three teams, between the 28th of this month and the 18th of May next.

Even the pontiff himself said last Friday: "We'll see if I can go soon," answering a question from journalist Inés San Martín, who spoke about it during the flight that led to it. in Morocco.

The president of the episcopate, Oscar Ojea, told Telam last week that his own Francisco is the one who decides the times of his agenda. "It's his decision," he said, soothing the wait. And lamented a very Argentine trend: "We always want to put it in all the gaps and problems we have."

Meanwhile, in the Macri government, they are also trying to behave with caution. "We would like and we still hope," is the formula repeated by officials consulted by LA NACION.

Most likely, the Argentine bishops will not come back with a public commitment from Francisco.

"The logical expectations can not ignore the differences that separate Francisco from the government of Macri, he will not give a photo to the government that has worked the most to promote hatred and confrontation between the Argentines," he was encouraged to source close to Francisco.

If the crack is the measure of the stick, what remains of the direction of Cristina Kirchner, was the obligatory question. "In Kirchnerism, they shouted loudly, especially from the official channel and all that, but today there is a pattern of exclusion, the climate of confrontation is perceived in the policy that leads to the 39, increase in poverty, to the increase of dismissals ", justified the fountain close to the pope.

For the most recognized Argentinean personality in the world, the Macri government has missed the opportunity to call for a sincere union among all Argentines and chose to bet on confrontation.

The differences do not mean that the communication channels are closed. A year ago, Francisco and the Chief of Staff, Marcos Peña, had an exchange of letters described as "cordial and correct" in the pope's environment, but without this leading to transcendence decisions.

32% of the poverty and the people affected by the layoffs are not, in this sense, the only concerns of the head of the Church, as LA NACION knew it.

"The election of topics that are the subject of debate and the form in which they are treated are also generators of hate and confrontation," the Vatican source said. The commentary reveals that the injuries have not healed due to Macri's decision to engage in public debate, almost surprisingly and politically, on the issue of abortion, which divides the society very little. .

In the church, they recognize that this situation would not have been discussed with Cristina Kirchner. However, the former president has not only voted in favor of terminating pregnancy. but during his government, he challenged and submitted the church to the debate on the equality of marriage.
