Incorrect again.
I am a realist and you said the following:

1. “The Pope is wasting his time.”
You have NO way of knowing that he is wasting his time. Perhaps it is you who lacks spiritual knowledge and/or information regarding such things.

2. “You don’t know Cubans. “
Again, this statement displays a lack of correct information on your part, since I do, indeed, know Cubans.

3. “They’re (Cubans) further from being Catholic than the Moslems.”

Here is your generalization. This statement certainly does NOT apply to all Cubans.

4. “You may call it generalizing when I write something you don’t want to accept or cannot understand.”

I repeat: No, I only call it generalizing when it IS generalizing.

With all due respect, I suggest that you write more clearly and that you work a bit on your Spanish grammar.

;-)

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.
