«The Supreme Pontiff has personally approved this program which, therefore, has now been established,» Monsignor Renato Boccardo said today. «No one has told us, the organizers, that these visits might be canceled.»
The monsignor said he had made two trips to Latin America to prepare the papal visit: one in January and the other before Easter.
Erroneously interpreting statements of Vatican spokesman Joaquín Navarro-Valls, some news agencies reported Sunday that the visits to Guatemala and Mexico might be eliminated from the Pope´s trip to the American continent for Toronto´s World Youth Day.
