Pope Francis will further cement his legacy as an advocate for the suffering and marginalized of the world this week, as he heads to sub-Saharan Africa for the third time, visiting the war-ravaged nations of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan, the Crux website reports today (Jan. 30, 2023).
Plagued by conflicts that have torn them apart over years -- even decades -- these nations have been priorities for the pope.
In what will be his 40th trip abroad, Pope Francis will visit Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo from Jan. 31-- Feb. 3, and then he'll make an ecumenical visit to Juba in South Sudan from Feb.3 --5.
