I see no paradoxes in Pope Che’s scheduling.
First he visits the Castros in Cuba.
Then BHO in Washington.
Then address the UN in NYC.
Seems very consistent to me for this Pope.
He will find many kindred spirits in his travels this week.
I believe you are mistaken.
Did you even read it? Don’t the quotes from Holy Scripture give even a moment’s pause for reflection?
Pope Pius XII even before his Papacy denounced the Nazis. Certainly His Holiness never went to Nazi Germany to embrace Hitler in a friendly and familiar encounter.
Either as Archbishop Bergoglio or as Pope, Francis never denounced the crimes of the Cuban Stalinist regime. Francis have expressed his high regard for the most brutal tyranny in the history of this hemisphere, to the extreme of bragging before going to the Holy Land that he considered himself to be the Che Guevara of Palestine people.
During his trip to the island prison Francis did not incited the Cuban youth to create líos (to mess up, to revolt) as he did to the youth in a trip to Brazil just after been elected Pope.
In Cuba Francis called for reconciliation but he did not meet with the dissidents, the real representatives of the enslaved Cuban people, whose demand freedom and respect for the human and civil rights have been ignored by the rest of the world for more than 55 years. Making a mockery of the Pope visit, the regime imprisoned all the leaders of the democratic dissidence during Francis stay in Cuba.
You got to remember that both Castros brothers are growing older, and in time will pass on into history. Pope Francis is beginning to prepare the island of Cuba for when it will go into a post communist period and it will come.
BTW, his name is Pope Francis. Why do you not use the correct title?
