The Pope is making his rounds in the middle east this month.
This will be the 4th time a pope has visited the Holy Land.
He will visit Palestine, Israel, and Jordan. The king of Jordan has authority over the Temple Mt.
"As the New Year begins, Francis has already penciled into his diary several important engagements over the next twelve months, including the creation of new cardinals, the canonizations of John XXIII and John Paul II, a visit to the Holy Land and probably also to one or more countries in Asia, as well as the extraordinary Synod of Bishops on the family."
"On January 13, he will exchange greetings with ambassadors from some 180 countries that have full diplomatic relations with the Holy See. In his talk to them he is expected to touch on some of the worlds major social, economic and political concerns, and to push for a just and lasting peace in Syria, and a positive outcome to Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations."
Here is the Popes schedule, Ive left out the interim events that are not important.
