HAVANA (AP) — Pope Francis hailed detente between the United States and Cuba as a model of reconciliation for the world, urging Presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro to persevere in building normal ties as the pontiff launched a 10-day tour of the former Cold War foes Saturday.
Francis' surprisingly direct call for progress toward normalization came after weeks of Vatican assurances that he would not explicitly address politics during his pastoral trip to Cuba and the U.S. Francis served as mediator and guarantor of 18 months of secret negotiations that led to the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries this year.

Commie Pope Francis praises US——Commie Cuba detente as model for world
Surrender to evil regimes?
Some model.
Bookmark because I want to read what Catholics think of this.
Same here.
I’m against it.
ditto
If I was a Cuban dissident I would be deeply depressed.
Paging Archbishop Gilday
I hope the Pope rots in hell for willfully turning a blind eye to what Castroites in Cuba are doing to the Cuban people.
There hasn’t been a Good Pope since Pius XII. Vatican 2 was the beginning of the end.
“Francis is expected to make immigration one of the major themes of the visit. He has called for countries to be more welcoming of migrants seeking a better life for themselves and decried in particular the plight of would-be migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border— signaling he has no qualms about wading into a politically charged issue in the U.S. presidential campaign.”
He has no qualms steeling from Americans to pay for his agenda. He is nothing but a liar and a thief .
Wait until he has several nuclear missles aimed at him
from ninety miles offshore,
and then we'll see how he respomds to 'detente',
rather than capitulation !
I’m against it.
Interesting.
Sounds a lot like Obama’s Noble Peace Prize award and buyer’s remorse.
What we have seen and are seeing is the direct outgrowth of getting awards and trophies for just showing up.
I wonder if this effort is going to just like the Iran Nuclear “deal” — a whole bunch of dead trees and carbon based ink use without any signature?
Same here.
This Catholic wants to know if Francis is going to visit one of the hellholes holding Cuban political prisoners to ask them if they agree with his assessment.
No such thing exists in the lefty mind.
