Both John Adams and Lincoln warned about the Jesuits. Today we have people throughout government and media connected to Jesuitry.

Stop propping them up and they will topple. obamaumao threw them the lifeline. funny the Swiss wont close the Banco de Cuba where the blood money is located, but they will turn in US people with their money there.

Unfortunately, his theology is as flawed as his political views.

This pope has put the church on the same road to perdition taken by mainline protestant denominations. One cannot be in league with satan and remain a disciple of Christ.

I don’t think the Pope should be involved in Politics....remember here in AMERICA we have ‘separation of church and state’ course Zero doesn’t realize that and doesn’t care...

I see a lot of things happening here everyday, Virginia State wants to limit guns, or do away with them entirely, Zero is opening our borders for anything and everyone, Zero bows to every Commie in the World, he butts his nose in everything that he shouldn’t, he isn’t helping America recover from the trillions he has spent, he lied to us about health care, well he’s lied about everything that comes out of his mouth, and now he is involved in a country (Cuba) were he didn’t need to be, but is against Israel, what I see is he is going to take over America as a dictator and have things lined up to do it in 2016...what are we going to do? What we have been doing, sit back and let him do it...so when this happens, were are we going to be?

Why is the Pope dealing in politics? He is an fool for even suggesting that hard core communists empires, like Cuba, should ever be included in civilized societies. He is off his rocker.

Ah, but a Jesuit thinks he can. After all they masterminded so many evil “successes” in history. Deo Vindice.

Most of the rest of the world trade with Cuba and we should to.
The embargo is a relic from the Cold War and never worked. What will work is Capitalism.
Cuba could be transformed overnight into the premier vacation spot in the world.
Imagine Cuba letting the Vegas Hotel and Gambling interests back in and the billions in investment that would follow.
Jobs created, parts for the those 1957 Chevy's available, etc. and etc..
It would not take long for the Castro's to be a memory and the people will move to a democracy of some form.
Forget Rubio and the Cuban Community, they can't see the big picture.
The best chance for Cuba to change is to normalize relations and start investing in Cuba, in time we can make it our 51st state.

Fellow travelers is the term you are looking for. Francis is the anti-JPII.

He may as well be Peter the Roman. (see the prophecies of St. Malachy)

The Pope is doing what a Pope is expected to do. He sees the thaw of relations as helping millions of potential Catholics. I can’t put the blame on him.

But I do, however, blame Obama since he wouldn’t have any use for the Pope other than to lay the blame at his feet.

This is what you get when communists conspire together for their own common good, yet they and their supporters will deny what they do is socialist communism.

Why would I invest in a country that stole billions of dollars of assets and has never paid back a red cent?

That can be worked out.
Try and look at the big picture. If we succeed in Cuba and show what capitalism can do maybe the rest of South America will wake up and catch on.
By the way Cuba for a long time even before Castro arrived was a absolute Den of Iniquity so if we can transform it why not try?
The tourism aspect is the key thing and American know how will make it work.
