The Vatican considers "unfounded" the announced trip by Pope Benedict XVI to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico in August 2011 made by the Dominican diocese of La Vega, stated yesterday Vatican official sources told Efe.
"It makes no sense, or foundation, said that the Pope will visit the two countries in August 2011, the month in APGonaives I do travel to Madrid Spain to preside at the World Youth Day," the sources said.
Also stressed was the "first time" heard of this alleged trip and that the Vatican "at no time" has thought of a trip of this magnitude, so many miles from Rome, bearing in mind that the Pope is a 83 year old. On Thursday, sources in the diocese of La Vega said that Benedict XVI will visit the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico in 2011 to participate in the celebration of 500 years of the dioceseDominican.
