Do you think the Pope is avoiding the Philippines?

on a positive note - maybe the vatican knows that the Filipinos are really God-fearing people, and thus we are already the least of their priorities. they could be setting a visit to countries they think that needs more of the pope's "visibility"

The Vatican probably does not think that we need a papal visit since we are already a largely Catholic country. I think there are other countries that they want to reach to truly live out their mission. I would appreciate a visit thought from the pope.

I see no reason why the pope would avoid the Philippines. In my opinion, The philippines is special to him since it is the only christian nation in Asia. The main reason i can think of why he don't focus his attention here is he has other concerns to take care of. the number of catholics even in europe is shrinking, to think that that's where the vatican is located.

Maybe pope couldn't visit the Philippines alone when he tries to tour Asia knowing most asian countries are not Catholic. He is also maybe concern about expenses the government is going to spend if this visit will happen knowing we our poor country.

...i don't think so,cause the pope doesn't think the place..its only that if he has a problem to the Filipino that's the the time pope will avoid the philippines.
