Compare and Contrast


.- While Pope Francis is in Cuba next week chances are high that he will meet with former president Fidel Castro, though no specific time has been set, Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi has announced.
Anticipating questions on whether a meeting between the Pope and the former Cuban president would happen, Fr. Lombardi said that “in all likelihood it's very predictable that it will happen, clearly during the day in Havana.”
However, he stressed that it hasn't put in the schedule at a specific time, “so we have to see when is easier, or when it's possible to organize it. But it's very likely that it will happen.”
“The desire has also been expressed by the State, also when President Raul Castro came here to Rome, so it's quite normal.”

HA! Just kidding about the Marxist thing. I hope.... “Marxist ideology is wrong. But I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people, so I don’t feel offended ... there is nothing in the exhortation that cannot be found in the social doctrine of the church.”
