Pope goes where men fear to tread

– Pope Francis will consider the possibility of an unprecedented visit to North Korea, but some conditions will have to be met, a senior Vatican official said.

Such a trip would be the first by a pope to the reclusive East Asian state, which does not allow priests to be stationed there.
