How Helpful is Contemporary Papal Globe-Trotting?

No serious re-evaluation of the papal office in sight?

Papal visit to Korea to focus on reconciliation, youth, laity and martyrs
Korean Church: Without a “culture of life” the country will wither away
Msgr. You: Pope Francis in Korea, a "volcano" who will inflame mission among youth
“Korean Christians teach us about martyrdom and announcing the Gospel”
Interview with Cardinal Filoni, who says the Korean Church can grow like yeast, just as it says in the Gospel, and not through spiritual “marketing” strategies

Pope Francis will meet 20 Asian young adult "leaders," which includes BoA (and not Kim Yuna?). I think Kim Yuna may get married before BoA, and at an appropriate age, too. BoA (and many of the Korean Catholic female celebs in their 20s and 30s) seem to be following the typical life program for women in industrial capitalist societies. I wouldn't call her a Catholic leader.
