Pope's Visit to South Sudan This Year Canceled

Time Magazine

The Vatican said  it had scrapped tentative plans for Pope Francis to make a visit this year to South Sudan, which has been hit by civil war, famine and a refugee crisis, Reuters reports.

Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said the trip "was not for this year" but did not say when it might now take place.

Burke did not give a reason for the cancellation of the plans but Vatican and Church sources said it was a combination of security concerns and logistics.
