VATICAN CITY—The Holy See Press Office has denied a report that Pope Francis may be planning a trip to North Korea.
The article, published yesterday by The Times, cited a report by Agenzia Fide, the information service of the Pontifical Mission Society. The report claimed Park Jie-won, head of South Korea’s intelligence services, is working for the Papal visit, and claimed “that he would meet with Archbishop Kim Hee-jung and the Apostolic Nuncio in South Korea, Archbishop Alfred Xuereb, to discuss Pope Francis’ visit to Pyongyang.”
