VATICAN CITY – The Vatican says Pope Francis is planning to visit Mexico next year.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, confirmed Tuesday that plans are underway for the trip and said it would include a visit to the Our Lady of Guadalupe shrine. No dates were announced.
Francis has said previously that he wanted to have entered the U.S. from Mexico in a sign of solidarity with migrants during his recent U.S. trip but that the schedule didn't allow for it.
Francis had planned to visit his native Argentina as well as Uruguay and Chile next year, but it's not clear if that trip will still take place. The only other trip planned so far in 2016 is to Krakow, Poland, for World Youth Day in July.

Mexiko-Stadt (dpa) - Papst Franziskus reist nach Medienberichten 2016 zu einem Besuch nach Mexiko. Das katholische Kirchenoberhaupt werde in der ersten Hälfte des kommenden Jahres in das lateinamerikanische Land kommen, sagte Papstsprecher Federico Lombardi am Dienstag dem mexikanischen Fernsehsender Televisa.

Der genaue Terminplan für die Mexiko-Reise werde voraussichtlich im November dieses Jahres bekanntgegeben. Der Pontifex dürfte aber in jedem Fall die berühmte Wallfahrtsbasilika von Guadalupe in Mexiko-Stadt besuchen. Mit fast 93 Millionen Gläubigen ist Mexiko hinter Brasilien das Land mit der zweitgrößten katholischen Gemeinschaft der Welt.
Der Vatikan erklärte am Dienstag auf Anfrage, eine Reise des Papstes nach Mexiko im kommenden Jahr sei gut möglich, aber noch nicht zu 100 Prozent bestätigt. «Die Reise ist in der Vorbereitungsphase», sagte ein Sprecher. Ein genaues Datum oder eine definitive Bestätigung gebe es aber noch nicht.
