There is something very strange about watching The Pope and a tyrant sitting down for tea.
Since the Castro brothers came to power, they have made life miserable for religious people in Cuba. A few months ago, Mr Gross, a US citizen, was detained for taking laptops to the Jewish community in the island.
The Pope made some general remarks about freedom. He told a reporter on the plane that the Marxist model does not work anymore. However, he did not meet with "the ladies in white", a group of Catholic women who march after mass every Sunday.
We understand that The Pope has to be very careful. However, he should have been a little tougher with anti-religious regime that has prosecuted priests and other religious people.
