Why did Pope Francis never return to Argentina during his papacy?

Jorge Mario Bergoglio, former Archbishop of Buenos Aires, did not know the last time he saw his hometown when he elected Pope Benedict XVI after leaving Argentina’s capital and participating in the Vatican payment.

After the Pope Francis became a pope, Argentina left with a heavy heart that he never returned to his country.

On Monday, the Archbishop Jorge Ignacio García Cuerva of Buenos said his parish said his parish is “an orphan of his father who loves his country profoundly and learns to be the father of the world.”

He also added that the franchise would be a pope. “Argentina cost us a little bit … Bergoglio has left us to become a franchise.”

For many people, including Bergoglio, he was initially elected as the highest office in the Catholic Church.

According to the analysts, he was not considered a real candidate to fill the vacancy.

Guillermo Marcó, the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires, told the Argentina newspaper Clarín, “When he left Buenos Aires, he looked a bit sad when he left Buenos Aires.

But Bergoglio will soon begin the 12 -year -old pope.

Although Argentina has one of the most powerful offices in the world, his death has been declared for seven days, especially as Argentina grieves a simple and humble man.

The qualities were praised by Elenir Ramazol, a nun who had a conversation with the BBC Mundo during the Cathedral of Buenos Aires Cathedral on Monday.

Ramazol said that he did not return to his hometown, “not only his people, but also a complete devotion to the whole church to his country.”

Gustavo Vera exchanged hundreds of letters with Francis and became a friend when he was still an Archbishop. He agreed that Pontif has always been interested in what is happening in his homeland.

“Sometimes he mentioned soccer, sometimes tango, and sometimes cultural events. Francis added that he followed Argentina news” in detail. “

During the pope’s rights, Francis visited four out of five countries across the Argentina border, but he never visited his home country despite being interested.

He is now loved by many who mourn him, but others remember him as a controversial person.

After the announcement that fellow countryman would be the first Pope Latin America, most Argentina’s early pride has given drugs among some people for many years.

According to the Pew Research Center, the proportion of people with positive opinions on Pontif fell from 91%in 2013 to 64%in 2024.

Among the six Latin American countries surveyed, the biggest decrease in Argentina was recorded.

Argentine conservatives accused him of undermining the sacred historical tradition, but the reformers expected a more profound change.

Critics thought he was not enough to oppose the cruel military dictatorship of the 1970s and 1980s and to criticize the public offering of some of the churches.

Pope Francis gave an ambiguous answer whenever he asked about possible travel.

“I want to go. It’s my people, but it’s not planned yet. There are a few things to clean up,” he asked about the topic in September 2024.

Some fellow Argentina knew it was hard to understand this hesitation.

Argentina has endured a more serious economic crisis in recent years, and the annual inflation has reached nearly 300%, and the lack of pontif has felt more serious due to the rapid increase in poverty.

Vera suggested that he had not yet done it because he had planned to visit Francis, but he wanted to avoid his own being used for political purposes.

“He always said he would go to Argentina, and he said he would go to Argentina when he thought it was a tool that brought national unity, overcomes cracks and tries to bring Argentina back.

“RIFT” refers to the vast Gulf of the Argentina politics and society between supporters and opponents of the populist political movement, founded by President Juan Perón in the 1940s.

Pope Francis has a wide range of beliefs about the nation called Ferronist. In 2023 he refused in the book.

This opinion was seized by conservative critics who accused the cause of social justice and left -wing politics too closely.

Before he took office, Javier Milei, the current president who demonized the left politics, called the Pope Francis “the expression of evil on the planet.”

The two sincerely had a sincere meeting in the Vatican, and Miley officially invited the Pope to Argentina. Following the Pope’s death, Milei said he suffered deeply in his loss and praised Pontif’s mercy and wisdom.

Some Argentina accused Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, a divided leftist populist politician from 2007 to 2015.

But according to Mr. Vera, the Pope met people in the entire political and social spectrum of Argentina.

Pontiff’s friend also pointed out that there was criticism of the Pope Francis in the center of the media and major cities, but he was loved in other regions.

Vera said he had a relationship with Argentina, but Pope Francis said he no longer belonged to a country.

“Argentina believes he is an Argentina, but it was actually a world citizen.”

It is a view shared by Alejandra Castro, a social worker who gathered at the Cathedral of Buenos Aires on Monday night.

Castro said Argentina was “always in prayer.” “In any way, he always existed, and I show that Argentina always existed in his heart.”

But Vera admitted that not everyone felt in the same way, and Argentina suggested that finding an answer depends on Argentina.
