“I want to go to the country next year,” said the Supreme Pontiff in statements to the Buenos Aires newspaper La Nación, published this Sunday.
Francis stressed that he “always” wanted to “return to the country” where he was born in 1936 and to which he has not returned since 2013, when he left Buenos Aires to participate in the conclave in Rome in which he would be elected successor to Benedict XVI.

Francisco has in his hands to appoint shortly the replacement of the archbishop of Buenos Aires, Cardinal Mario Poli, who resigned from his post last November, when he turned 75. “I can only anticipate that there are three strong candidates,” said the Supreme Pontiff, who pointed out that “the opinion of the Vatican institutions and the cardinals who are in charge of those institutions must be taken into account” to make a decision on the matter.
