HAVANA (AP) — Cuba has allowed construction of the country's first new Catholic church in 55 years, the church said Monday. Experts said it's a sign of improving relations between the Vatican and Cuba's communist government.

The church, funded by donations from Catholics in Tampa, Florida, will be built in Sandino, a citrus and coffee-growing town in the far-western province of Pinar del Rio.

The church publication "Christian Life" said it will have space for 200 people.

Must just be talking about Catholic Churches, Evangelical Protestant churches have been growing and building like crazy.

Of course once you get the OK from the government, good luck finding building supplies.

Wait, Cuba, you are building a new church? I believe Cuba is Islamphobic for not building a Mosque...They shouldntbe building a church. Don’t they know Islam is ‘the religion of pieces’?
