"We'll see if I can" | Pope Francis spoke about …

After the Argentine bishops anticipate a new effort to visit Pope Francis in Argentina, Jorge Bergoglio has himself taken the initiative to put order in any eventuality. "We'll see if I can go soon," he said in one of his already clbadic airmail dialogues with the press when he was asked about the possibility of a visit. in his home country, where he was last seen in 2013.

Bergoglio's brief and ambiguous statement was made during his trip to Morocco, where he first arrives as part of his official visits. And although this is not the first time the pope speaks on the subject, this answer has become important because of the announcement made a few days ago by some members of the Argentine Episcopal Conference .

"At our next meeting with him, we will propose once again that he does not deprive himself of the joy of visiting us", says the text sent by the authorities of the Argentine Catholic Church to Francisco the March 13th.

The meeting to which the Bishops referred will be held from April 28 to May 18, the duration of the first ad limina visit to the Vatican that the CEA will carry out to date in the Bergoglio papacy. During these days, "the bishops will make a pilgrimage to Rome, presenting a detailed report on the pastoral reality of each of the dioceses of the country," said the prelates.

The postponed visit to Argentina as supreme leader of the Catholic Church has always been a motive for speculation, which is immediately linked to the country's political climate and its well-known condemning stance of neoliberalism, a conceptual framework that ends combine in the economic policy implemented by Mauricio Macri.

What makes us suppose that the "we will see if I can leave soon" of the pope could not be this year is also due to the fact that 2019 is the election year and that its arrival could be used for political purposes.

The truth is that since March 13, 2013, when his name was announced from the balcony of the Vatican as a successor of Benedict XVI, Jorge Bergoglio did not return to his country. He did not set foot on Argentine soil when he was on the point of doing so several times, at least geographically. The first time, it was in July 2013, when he went to Brazil as part of World Youth Day. The second took place in 2015, when he made a long tour in Bolivia and Paraguay. At that time, there was heavy speculation about a brief landing in Argentina, but the Alitalia plane took off to Ecuador, then to Cuba, during a historic visit .

Already in 2015, his return to Latin America was to go to Mexico. And shortly after, he returned to his homeland when he visited Chile, and instead of crossing the mountain range he returned to Rome.
