Maranatha First Baptist Church is one of the largest congregations in Holguín, Cuba . .
In early May Pastor Amado Ramírez Oliveros reported the long-awaited answer: Cuban authorities not only denied the construction permit, they announced the government is seizing the property that has belonged to the Eastern Baptist Convention since 1947. Maranatha will be forced to pay an unannounced amount of “rent” if it wants to remain in its building.

Wow. Just like paying ‘Jizya’.
Its my humble opinion that the pope is a Roman Catholic figure...and doesnt really EMBRACE CHristian Principles very..... eagerly
if it walks like a duck...
He’ll make kissies to Islam, but when it comes to a different branch of Christendom...
And it seems this action is a not so subtle signal to the Catholics that down will come the boot if the pope doesn’t accommodate well enough...
I could so wish that this pope would tell Raul off that he isn’t going to be played for a fool. Forgive? Always. Excuse? NEVER.
“By their fruits”..
thus far francises’ fruits arent looking real good
Im not certain that the Pope even considers both Baptists and Catholics as Christians.
given his tolerance....of islam...that is almost understandable
A generic worldly liberalism does not add up to Christian love. It has entirely a different profile and a different goal. That’s the thing that I think this honorable pope is missing.
well put .
Obama approves.
He said he was a Jesuit.
The trail of blood and suffering left by Castro’s exploits, especially throughout Africa and Latin America, has had no bearing on the American sycophants support for the longest lasting and most brutal regime in the history of this hemisphere, they keep supporting Castro disregarding that his victims were both blacks and whites, Cubans as well as Latino Americans or Africans.
The fact is that Obama is embracing the same tyrants who tried to nuke New York and Washington in October 1962 and in November the FBI broke a plot by Cuban diplomats that planned a series of bomb attacks at Macy, Bloomingdale and New York Central Station during the most busy business day, the day after Thanks Giving, a terrorist plot that would have killed more victims than the attack to the Twin Towers.
The hate of the Cuban tyrants against the United States has not diminished a bit and very soon Obama will finance with American taxpayers’ money Castro’s international terror network.
Che Guevara expressed in paradigmatic words the essence of Castro’s regime when he stated: “We must above all keep our hatred alive and fan it to paroxysm… hate as a factor of struggle, intransigent hate to the enemy, hate that can push a human being beyond his natural limits and make him a cold, violent, selective, and effective killing machine.“
This is the kind of regime president Obama and Pope Francis want to support, finance and perpetuate in Cuba and portray as a model to follow by the rest of Latin America.
Why believe “World Magazine” sources?
I HAVE NO familiarity with world magazine nor do I take responsibility for anything the “publish”
I apologize — that should have gone to aimhigh
no problem, Freegards
