93 303 339 | Pope Francis says may visit Pyongyang following official invitation, October 18, 2018


Pope Francis expressed his willingness Thursday to visit North Korea if officially invited, also saying he will “certainly” respond to such an invitation from the communist state.

The remarks came in a meeting with South Korean president Moon Jae-in, who paid a courtesy call on the pope to deliver a verbal invitation from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for the pope to visit Pyongyang.


Seoul’s presidential office Cheong Wa Dae earlier said the North Korean leader expressed his willingness to invite the pope to his country in his third and latest inter-Korean summit with Moon in Pyongyang last month.

No pope has ever visited the North.

The meeting between Moon and Pope Francis was held behind closed doors with only South Korean priest Han Hyun-taek serving as the interpreter.

Cheong Wa Dae said details of a meeting with the pope are traditionally kept confidential but that the Vatican has agreed to make a special exception and allow the release of even some of the pope’s remarks.


The Vatican earlier said the pope’s meeting with the South Korean leader would mark an exceptional case in that the pontiff usually receives a foreign head of state at around 9:30 a.m. and only for about half an hour.




Thursday’s meeting between the pope and the South Korean leader began shortly after Moon arrived in the Holy See at around noon.



*The Holy See is the "All Seeing Eye" and operates as an intelligence network which then works with intelligence agencies like the CIA, NSA, and MI6 to enhance their intelligence system.

The Holy See is a corporate entity which issues laws and bills like the Golden Bull which claims ownership over the Kingdom of England. The Pope claims temporal power or ownership over the Earth and also claims Papal Supremacy or Papal Rule and Papal Infallibility.
