"HAVANA (CNS) – In a ceremony joined by President Raul Castro, Cuba’s Catholic bishops inaugurated the San Carlos and San Ambrosio Seminary Nov. 3, the country’s first major church-related construction in the half century since the revolution led by Fidel Castro.

Joined by Cuba’s bishops and representatives of the Vatican and of the Catholic Church in the United States, Mexico, Italy and the Bahamas, Havana Cardinal Jaime Ortega Alamino noted that the late Pope John Paul II blessed the first stone of the new seminary at a Mass during his January 1998 visit to the island."

**Pray for the Cubans & for their freedom!

The article says;

“As a result of that dialogue, in July the Cuban government began a process of releasing political prisoners. As of Oct. 21, 47 prisoners had been released on the condition that they voluntarily leave for Spain. Some are reportedly in the process of seeking residency in the United States, where many of the ex-prisoners have family.”

Sen.(elect) Marco Rubio is proud of his Cuban Exile heritage “No matter where I go or what title I may achieve, I will always be the son of exiles,”

Pray for the authentic conversion of the Castro brothers. Everytime I see Fidel’s name I remember the article, from 30 yrs ago, about the Cuban prisoner who had electric wires connected to his genitals . . . . but the prisoner did not renounce his God nor his God given rights.
