  • The Catholic church’s relationship with the state in Cuba is “not what it should be, but it’s better than it has been,” says Orlando Bishop Thomas Wenski after a trip to Cuba, which he discusses on the Herald’s op-ed page.

  • “Confusion reigns in the heart of American society,” Fidel Castro writes in a long commentary on the news from the United States. Fidel, who supported the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, says it is “an error” for President Obama to shift U.S. ground forces from Iraq to Afghanistan. “The Soviet Union sank there,” he says.
