In my view the Pope is a ... Capitalist and businessman.

He’s selling a product, the Roman Catholic Church. In Cuba he sees a great untapped pool of customers. He wants to be the first one to get into the market, so he’s playing nice with the folks who are controlling entry to the market. He knows that if he doesn’t play nice they’ll slam the door in his face and he won’t be able to get back in for another 20 years. And possibly after others have been granted access to the market first.

FRANCIS AND FIDEL LOVELY ENCOUNTER

“Pope Francis expressed his gratitude to Cuba for his contribution to peace and the preservation of the human specie in a world saturated by hatred and aggressions.”

I wonder how many faithful Catholic are leaving the Church after Pope Francis embraced and called to his side the leaders of the Marxist liberation theology, a heresy condemned by John Paul II and Benedict XVI following the Magisterium of the Church's condemnation of socialism from Pope Leo XIII to Benedict XVI.

We saw the real Pope Francis during his peregrination to honor Fidel Castro, Cuba's murderous tyrant.

Lovely encounter among comrades

Francis ask Fidel for his blessing and prayers.

“According to the Gramma, the official newspaper of the Cuban regime “Pope Francis expressed his gratitude to Cuba for his contribution to peace and the preservation of the human specie in a world saturated by hatred and aggressions.” (Pope Francis’ quotation is not sarcasm or black humor.)
