When I was in Santiago de Compostela in 2014, I read in the local newspapers (with limited comprehension) that the pope was planning a visit in 2015. Does anyone know when this may happen?

I'll ask my Parish priest when I get back, he usually knows about these things

Don Julio Gomez, the "blessing priest" from Carrion, told me not an hour ago that Pope Francis is coming this year.
He also said Cardinal Dolan (a very big man from NYC) is walking the camino this summer!

Thank you! When you get the actual or approximate dates of the pope's visit or Cardinal Dolan's walking schedule, could you post again?
