In advance of the Pope’s visit, AP
takes a long and interesting look at the Cuban Catholic church and its
leader, Cardinal Jaime Ortega.
The Herald’s Juan
Tamayo interviews three independent voices among Cuban Catholics: a priest,
a dissident, and a magazine editor from Pinar del Rio.
Radio
Marti’s website reports on the recent return of Catholic Church properties
that were confiscated in the 1960’s.
Photos are of the little church in
Vinales, wrecked in the 2008 hurricanes, that has been repaired and spruced up
and will be re-inaugurated in a ceremony this coming Sunday. A parish worker told me that aid from Germany
made it possible.

I believe that few understand the significance of this visit. Possible moves could be the release of Alan Gross and the "Cuban Five" and a reconciliation amongst the expatriates and the moderates who are most definitely are posturing and ready for change. Just my observation but as I've stated many times, the hour glass is running low for the present day regime.
