¿Por qué viaja un Papa y recorre gran parte del mundo en su pontificado?

Modern popes make significant efforts to visit various locations around the world to fulfill the pastoral mandate of evangelization, according to Carlos Zapata for Aleteia.

While reasons for these trips vary depending on the specific pope, the primary motivation stems from the divine command to spread the faith. Zapata notes that popes travel for three specific reasons, though the report only identifies the first motive as part of this broader pastoral mission.
