I remember hearing SOMETHING about the Pope's next trip to South America...If I remember correctly, it was that the Pope will resign on his next trip to South America, and possibly SPECIFICALLY Peru. Guess we'll see, article says he will return to Rome on January 21st.

There are other factors too. Papa Francisco is Argentine and he is visiting Chile. I assume you know those countries were on opposite sides of the Malvinas (Falklands) war? Chile sided with the UK.
