Lokale kerkelijke autoriteiten in Afrika hebben gezegd dat Leo verschillende landen op het continent zal bezoeken \u2014 waarbij Angola en Equatoriaal-Guinea tot de bestemmingen behoren die publiekelijk door lokale autoriteiten zijn bevestigd, en Kameroen ook algemeen wordt verwacht als onderdeel van de reisroute \u2014 waarbij de timing in grote lijnen wordt omschreven als na Pasen.<\/p>\n<p>In Zuid-Amerika hebben Peruaanse bisschoppen gezegd dat de paus het land zal bezoeken \u2014 waar hij voorheen als bisschop diende \u2014 later dit jaar, waarbij lokale kerkleiders wijzen op een tijdsbestek in november of begin december.<\/p>\n<p>Een bezoek aan Spanje wordt deze zomer ook verwacht, waarbij Spaanse kerkelijke autoriteiten stops aangeven waaronder Madrid, Barcelona en de Canarische Eilanden.<\/p>\n<p>Pausen hebben de Verenigde Staten meerdere malen bezocht, beginnend met de reis van paus Paulus VI in oktober 1965, die een bezoek aan de Verenigde Naties omvatte.<\/p>\n<p>De heilige Johannes Paulus II reisde bij verschillende gelegenheden naar de VS, voor het eerst in oktober 1979 met stops in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Des Moines, Chicago en Washington, waar hij de toenmalige president Jimmy Carter ontmoette. Onder zijn latere bezoeken keerde hij in 1995 terug voor de 50e verjaardag van de Verenigde Naties en maakte hij zijn laatste reis naar de VS naar St. Louis, Missouri, in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>Paus Benedictus XVI bezocht ook de Verenigde Staten en reisde in april 2008. Tijdens die reis vierde hij zijn 81e verjaardag op 16 april in het Witte Huis met president George W. Bush, en later bezocht hij New York, inclusief een moment van gebed bij Ground Zero ter nagedachtenis aan de slachtoffers van de aanslagen van 11 september 2001.<\/p>\n<p>De meest recente paus die de Verenigde Staten bezocht was paus Franciscus, die daar van 22 tot 27 september 2015 naartoe reisde. Tijdens het bezoek ging hij naar Washington D.C., waar hij Jun\u00edpero Serra heilig verklaarde en het Amerikaanse Congres toesprak. Daarna reisde hij naar New York, waar hij sprak bij de Algemene Vergadering van de Verenigde Naties, voordat hij de reis afsloot in Philadelphia, waar hij evenementen voorzat ter gelegenheid van de afsluiting van de Achtste Wereldgezinsontmoeting.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewtnnews.com\/vatican\/pope-leo-xiv-will-not-travel-to-the-united-states-in-2026-vatican-says\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.ewtnnews.com\/vatican\/pope-leo-xiv-will-not-travel-to-the-united-states-in-2026-vatican-says<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope Leo XIV will not travel to the United States in 2026, the director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, said Sunday, denying circulating reports that the pontiff might make an apostolic trip to his native country.
