Catholic News Agency, Courtney Mares:
Pope Francis, who is known as “the pope of the peripheries,” has suggested the possibility of traveling to somewhere no pope has gone before — the South Pole.
In a new interview published on Oct. 17, the pope said that he plans to visit his native Argentina, adding: “Somebody said that if I go to Argentina, I should stop at Rio Gallegos, then head to the South Pole, land in Melbourne, and visit New Zealand.”
“It would be a rather long journey,” he joked. Report is here.
