Not many people, including Catholics, are aware of Raúl Castro's background. The brother of Fidel is in fact a sociopath who served as an executioner during the revolution as well as after his brother took power.
Raúl was known for his ruthlessness and brutality. Years after the revolution, the homicidal maniac, who quite possibly is demon possessed, suggested that his nickname should be "Raúl the Terrible" for his role in hundreds of killings. He even executed a close friend, Gen. Arnaldo Ochoa, on orders from Fidel in 1989.
Cubans who dare to criticize the government or the policies of this psychopath, have much to fear. See here.
But the murderous psychopath found himself entirely welcome at the Vatican. As this article explains:
"Cuban President Raul Castro paid a call Sunday on Pope Francis at the Vatican to thank him for working for Cuban-U.S. detente — and said he was so impressed by the pontiff he is considering a return to the Catholic church’s fold.
“Bienvenido (welcome)!” Francis said in his native Spanish, welcoming Castro to his studio near the Vatican public audience hall. The Cuban president, bowing his head, gripped Francis’ hand with both of his, and the two men began private talks. The meeting lasted nearly an hour, as the Argentine-born Francis and Castro spoke in Spanish."
Is there any doubt where Francis is taking the Church? I'm a devout Catholic, a loyal son of the Church, a cradle Catholic who accepts and defends the Magisterial teaching of the Church. I live a chaste (celibate) life. I feel called to the ministerial priesthood. When I left several comments at the Pope's Facebook page highlighting the fact that my Diocese won't even acknowledge my requests to APPLY for the priesthood and to initiate a DISCERNMENT process, I received no welcome, no assistance, not even a bienvenido- a welcome.
So, a Socialist psychopath who has executed so many people that he himself wanted to be nicknamed "The Terrible" finds a hearty welcome and a personal one hour audience.
And Catholics like myself who embrace the Church's Tradition or who (God forbid), have a devotion to the Latin Mass, get....well....relegated to the ghetto.
FrancisChurch: Loyal sons of Tradition need not apply. Sociopaths welcome.
Got it....must pray many more Rosaries for the Church and her leadership.
Welcomes? Considering his communist actions thus far the Pope IS the sociopath at the vatican.
Good luck with that...

So what. Pope F. Is a NWO guy. Perfect fit.
I’ll go even further. I’d say that this pope is demon possessed.
It would explain a lot.
The ‘pope’ is only a man....unfortunately
He’s a perfect counterpart to the Obama Presidency. The implications of these men being in power at the same time should scare the hell out of us all.
Yet he ex-communicates Italian Mafia members. How are the Castro brothers any different?
Who is Frankie to judge?
Learn about the history of the Latin Church, and how the Frankish popes tore it away from the Orthodox Church! (”Pope Francis”—what an appropriate name!!!!)
Then visit Orthodox Christian parishes near you, to investigate Orthodoxy for yourself. We shall welcome you!
I’m not Catholic. And I do not want to offend Catholics. But this pope is a foolish socialist. He is dangerous. He is giving legitimacy to the murderous cult of socialism. Rather than address the challenges of the Catholic church and turning it in to God’s tool for good, he is distracting the Catholic followers with political populism. I, for one, am not impressed that he carried his own bags and kept his old car while he preaching liberal talking points straight out of the cult of Marx.
I just returned from Poland after a 2 month stay. John Paul 2nd was a man to be admired. He spoke about the evils of communism and secularism. He stood against the soviet union.
Didn’t Jesus dine in the house of a tax collector and save women of ill reput?
“Yet he ex-communicates Italian Mafia members.”
I hadn’t heard that Nancy Pelosi was excommunicated. Thanks for the great news!
***Cuban President Fidel and Raul Castro ***
Just a couple of common bandits who hit the big time, just like Raza, in THE PROFESSIONALS and Calvera in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN wish they had.
Common thieves have long used the term “Revolutionary” as a cover for their common crimes crimes.
Sociopath, socialist. Potato, potata.
I am Catholic. I want to offend others Catholics over the Pope!
Yes but the tax collector also gave up tax collecting and gave back money to those he screwed, and the woman stopped being a whore.
Not minor points.
In Cuba, its an open secret that Raul Castro is a flaming queer
Pelosi? Don’t insult the mafia.
