The Vatican has once again made a new nod to communist dictatorships. This Sunday hundreds of Cubans with flags of their country attended the Angelus Mass officiated by Pope Francis in San Pedro Square. The call was a show of support for the mobilization against the Castro regime scheduled for next November 15 on the island. What they did not expect is that Vatican Security agents would confiscate their country’s flags when it is very common to see people from all over the world in the square with flags.
“God, country, life and freedom!” Was one of the shouts made by a group of women who were peacefully demonstrating for freedom in Cuba. “Human rights for Cubans!” and “We want Cuba free!” were other slogans.
It was a peaceful demonstration in which the Cubans asked Pope Francis to make a gesture for the thousands of his compatriots who live under the totalitarian boot of Castroism. But this Pope has already made it clear which side he is on, so much so that he recently received praise from none other than the Spanish anticlerical left for his criticism of the Conquest of America.
It should be remembered that in November 2016 the Italian newspaper La Repubblica published a brief interview with Pope Francis questioned by the Italian journalist Eugenio Scalfari in which he said that “the communists were the only ones who thought like the Christians.”
“Are you also referring to a Marxist-type society?” Scalfari asked him. “If anything, it is the communists who think like the Christians,” the Pope replied. «Christ has spoken of a society in which the poor, the weak and the excluded decide. To obtain equality and freedom we must help the people, the poor with or without faith in God, and not the demagogues or the barabbas, “he added.
