Upcoming Papal Trips (add your tips/links!)

Last year I put together a static page which attempted to pull together all the news and rumors regarding Pope Benedict's upcoming travel plans. Wikipedia has a page on this topic but it is rarely updated and contains few references.

Anyway, I'm going to start recompiling a list of my own, and you're invited to add information in the comment box below. This post will change as information gets better. And yes, it's messy to begin with but you have to start somewhere.... Thanks!

Pope Benedict's current travel plans include:

• May 9-14; Brazil. (more to follow)
• September 2007; Mariazell, Austria & Sibiu, Romania.
• July 15-20, 2008; WYD in Sydney, Australia.
• Likely: United States; the UN General Assembly meets in October, so October 2007 would be the earliest possible date, with a 2008/2009 date more likely.
• Likely: June 2008, Canada; rumors have circulated that he will attend Quebec City's 49th Eucharistic Congress
• Unlikely: He said he would visit China, but also said that the timing was up to God.
• Not happening: Early 2007; Israel for "peace day."
• Not happening: Anytime soon; England (contrary to UK tabloid reporting).
• Unlikely for now: Croatia, Jordan, and Puerto Rico have all invited him.

Wikipedia also has a page detailing Pope Benedict's past journeys.
