Why Has Pope Francis Never Visited His Homeland? New Pres. of Argentina Insulted the Holy Father

 Pope Francis has demonstrated real physicsl courage  on his papal visits,  the  National Cartholic Register website reports today (Dec. 14, 2023).


Next year he will have something of a new challenge when visaiting his homeland, where a moral and political confrontation awaits him  Courage will be needed for a visit that is likely, but not yet scheduled. 


The inauguration of Argentina's new president on Dec. 10  has set the stage for something unusual ub this pontificate, a visit to a hostile political environment . Javier Milei, who won a landslide victory last month, insulted the Holy Father during his campaign, calling him an "imbecile" and a "filthy leftist" who "has an  affinity for murderous communists." That Milei himself is Catholic makes his disrespect for the Holy Father all the more offensive, not merely a matter of bad manners.
