Cuban Dictatorship Expels Superior of Jesuits From the Island
The National Catholic Register ^ | 9/15/22 | CNA

In November 2020, the priest expressed his support for a group of activists from the San Isidro Movement, who were on a hunger strike.

The Cuban dictatorship has expelled Father David Pantaleón, who served as superior of the Jesuits, from the island by not renewing his residency permit.

“On the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 13, Father David Pantaleón, superior of the Jesuits in Cuba, left the island because his residency permit was not renewed,” a statement from the Jesuits of Latin America announced.

The communiqué noted that the priest, who is from the Dominican Republic, “is also the president of the Cuban Conference of Religious Men and Women (CONCUR).” Like the Jesuits, CONCUR has been outspoken in defending human rights.

According to the Spanish news agency EFE, the Cuban dictatorship decided not to renew the Jesuit priest’s residence permit for foreigners after demanding that he control the political and critical comments of the Jesuits on the island, something that Pantaleón would not agree to do.

Sister Ariagna Brito Rodríguez of the Sisters of Charity of Cardinal Sancha lamented on Facebook that “the Cuban government, using its faculties of dictatorial power, without principles or values, forces him to leave the country: they fear the truth, they fear the face of good and getting rid of what irritates them is their only way of proceeding.”

I suspect that Cuba is not the last of countries the Jesuits have been thrown out of. They are in my opinion the CIA of the Vatican.

Not wrong. The Jesuits are a creepy machiavellian bunch of shirt lifters

LOL, my dad went to a Catholic college (V-12 program back in 1944, US Navy) and my mom really disliked the Jesuits.

She was of Armenian-Italian descent with dark eyes and dark hair, and I remember her smoking her cigarette while drinking coffee at the breakfast table one morning and the subject came up.

Her dark eyes literally flashed with heat, and she nearly spit as she hissed “Those damned Jesuits!”

She never said why, but she didn’t like them!

They STRAYED WAY, WAY FAR FROM CATHOLIC CHURCH and are only ROGUEs now.
