Vatican
Léon XIV invité deux fois au Mexique
Pope Leo XIV has been invited by Mexican bishops to visit the country in 2027 and again in 2031, according to Bishop Ramón Castro Castro, president of the Mexican Episcopal Conference.
Bishop Castro told the Catholic media outlet Red Católica that the second proposed visit would mark the 500th anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe. While the bishops have officially requested these visits, the Holy See has not confirmed any travel plans. Bishop Castro noted that any decision rests with the Vatican and depends on the pope's health, the priorities of the Holy See, and other commitments.
The Mexican bishops previously reiterated their request for a papal visit in a statement following a visit from Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin on August 6. The bishops expressed hope that the pope would encourage the country toward peace and reconciliation during these commemorations.
