Pope Francis ' longest and farthest trip to Asia proves he can still pull off an ambitious trip.
Despite his age, ailments and seven hours of jet lag, Pope Francis still could, still likes to pope and has it in him to pope like he used to at the start of his pontificate.
Francis ' 11-day trip through Indonesia , Papua New Guinea , East Timor and Singapore was one of the longest papal trips ever.
In Papua New Guinea , Francis was similarly jazzed after pulling off a visit to a remote jungle outpost that had seemed impossible for him to reach.
The airport in Vanimo , population 11,000 , does n’t have an ambulift wheelchair elevator that Francis now needs to get on and off planes.
In East Timor Francis had to negotiate perhaps the most sensitive issue clouding the visit: the case of Bishop Carlos Ximenes Belo , the revered national hero.
