Pope Francis may be coming to a city near you.
This might be the biggest thing since The Beatles landed at JFK. Pope Fancis, pope extraordinaire, has announced he'll be visiting
three East Coast cities this summer:
Pope Francis' confirmed Monday that his trip to the United States this fall will include stops in Washington and New York City, in addition to the previously announced visit to Philadelphia.
The pontiff told reporters he wishes he could enter the U.S. through the Mexican border "as a sign of brotherhood and of help to the immigrants," but will probably just fly directly to the East Coast.
"You know that [to] go to Mexico without going to visit the Madonna [of Guadalupe] would be a drama. A war could break out," he said, laughing. "I think there will only be those three cities. Later there will be time to go to Mexico."
The pope also mentioned his desire to visit California, but time won't permit it on this trip. Details of his full itinerary will be released at a later date.
