ROME — Pope Francis had quite a 78th birthday. between Cuba and the United States — and the disclosure that the Argentine pope played a key role as broker.
Francis is being credited for helping bridge the divide by first sending letters to President Obama and President Raúl Castro of Cuba, and then having the Vatican host a diplomatic meeting between the two sides in October.

A Marxist leaning Pope blessed the Marxist American president embrace of Castro's genocide communist regime condemning the Cuban enslaved people to eternal damnation. On the deal Castro liberated an American illegally imprisoned in Cuba in exchange for the freedom of three Cuban spies serving prison terms in U.S. and the normalization of relations with a country that occupied for decades a top position in the list of the State Department ‘s terrorist countries.
The Cuban regime tried to obliterate New York and Washington with a nuclear attack during the October Missile Crisis of 1962. “In November 1962, the Castro brothers’ and Che Guevara’s agents had targeted Macy’s, Gimbels, Bloomingdales, and Manhattan’s Grand Central Station with a dozen incendiary devices and 500 kilos of TNT. The Holocaust was set for detonation the following week, on the day after Thanksgiving.” (Humberto Fontova)
Castro has been a strong ally of Islamic terrorism. Cuba continues to serve as a base for coordination and mutual support among transnational terrorist organizations. At Tehran University he stated to the thunderous applause of students and faculty, "The imperialist king will finally fall,” (AFP, May 10, 2001). Immediately afterward the Iranian Press Service proudly proclaimed that "Iran and Cuba reached the conclusion that together they can tear down the United States.” (IPS, May 10, 2001).
According to World renown and highly respected American investigative journalist and author, Claire Sterling, : “All of the world’s emerging terrorist bands in the 1970’s were indebted to the Cubans and their Russian patrons for that honeycomb of camps around Havana. None could have started without rudimentary training, and those who didn’t train in Cuba were trained by others who did.” (“The Terror Network, The Secret War on International Terrorism.”)
As reported by Sterling, “Castro was training the advance guards of the coming European fright decade – Palestinians, Italians, Germans, French, Spanish Basques – and forming guerrilla nuclei in practically every Western hemisphere state south of the American border. As far back as 1962, Castro’s camps were taking in 1,500 Latin American guerrillas a year. . ‘Any revolutionary movement anywhere in the world can count on Cuba’s unconditional support,’ declared Castro at the 1966 Tricontinental Conference in Havana”. It was then and there that the international terrorism network was consolidated under Castro’s leadership.”
It is suicidal turning a blind eye to Castro, a deadly enemy at 90 miles south of Key West that does not hide his hatred for U.S.
To complete Obama’s betrayal of the American people, with the normalization of relations comes the opening to Cuba of the American and International bank credits that will sustain the Cuban regimen passing to the American taxpayers the same heavy burden that helped to bankrupt the Soviet Union.

Opening up ANOTHER path to the USA for terror. ANOTHER gift from the America-hater.
This Pope in particular and the Jesuit order in general have been profound disappointments.
Good grief...
Being credited by who, besides the Vatican Press Office?
Pope Francis, Bunky Moonster, all the usual suspects are just all "Kooombaayyaaaaaaaaaa.... !"
Bammy's just playing the headlines, stoking up the Left, and making Boneless the Stoneless look like The Stupidest Man on Earth for giving him all those votes last week.
C'mon, Bones..... Don't you feel stupid, now?
It wasn't that long ago that Cuban troops were in Angola and on Grenada.
Who am I to judge? I have met lots of Marxists who are swell guys. Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, they were just practicing their own form of democracy. Besides that, did not Jesus teach that the rich should have their wealth redistributed at the point of a gun? /s
On the positive side, the ‘Rats can kiss Florida goodbye for about 10 years... Or are they already discounting that Jebby will be the Yacht Club nominee?
Anti Castro Babalublog predicted this 11 months ago:
Both are communists.
That’s okay. When I was looking for more information on this, I came across a Spanish blog with a picture of the Pope holding up a tee-shirt that said “No al Fracking,” that is, No to Fracking, in Spanish.
This Pope is an Obama-sycophant and a left-wing disaster for the Church and for the world.
Thanks for your reply. I kind of liked this Pope, at first, but that diminished, on a daily basis.
Che was also from Argentina, just sayin’.
Blame the Pope-sheeshh. Is there any lie the NYTimes won’t tell?
I was apprehensive about Francis at first, and then, while he said a few strange things, he also said a few good things so I thought maybe he was just trying to find his way in the new job. However, now I’m apprehensive again...well, more than apprehensive.
That makes sense.
I got to see John Paul II in ‘79, when he was in NYC, he made a great impression, on me. He solidified that, when he joined forces with Pres. Reagan, and P.M. Thatcher, in the ‘80s - and Europe threw off the shackles of communism.
