You still won’t address the basic fact of Cuba being a syncrenetic culture. You may be the child or grandchild of Cubans, or have been born there and left years ago, but if you don’t know that Cuba is a syncrenetic culture, then you don’t really know Cuba or Cubans.
And because Cuba is a syncrenetic culture, it is not really a Catholic country, despite the most Christian devotion of your grandmother, five aunts, and second cousin who was the bishop of Pinar del Rio.
And since it looks like a Catholic country, but isn’t, the pope (or as they call him in Cuba, “el comemierda el papa”) treating his visit as if it were a trip to a Catholic country is misguided and a waste of time.

Amazingly, you miss the point and... engage in a bit more generalization.

PS I am quite aware of the cultural makeup of Cuba.

Your statement of this trip as misguided and wasted is, I would submit, based on your own lack of knowledge.
