Less than a month, he was installed as the head of world's Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis is set to visit Brazil in July. He is also to visit his native Argentina, Chile and Uruguay in December, according to reports by the Argentinean press.

Clarin and La Nacion, two of Argentina's leading newspapers, both reported on Tuesday, March 26, Pope Francis apparently told Argentina President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, during her visit to the Vatican to attend the new pope's inaugural on March 19, that he will visit his birth place "until after the country holds elections in October," so as to avoid involvement in the coming electoral process.

Reportedly acknowledged and welcomed by President de Kirchner, the new pope's second international travel could happen by December.

"Although it is normal that the Pope would go to Argentina sooner or later, as Benedict XVI went to Germany or John Paul II to Poland, we do not have any official confirmation at this time" regarding this trip, Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, told CNA.

"The only thing I can confirm," he noted, "is his trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for World Youth Day," which will take place July 23-28."

Even Valentina Carusi, an official with the Holy See's Argentine Embassy in Rome, said they are not in a position to confirm anything at this time.

"We are not going to confirm anything here because there has been no official confirmation by the Vatican about the Pope's schedule," Ms Carusi said.

Argentina will be holding its mid term elections in October.
