Spirits high in Cuba
as papal visit nears
HAVANA (AP) — Under an eight-
story-high mural of Christ, choirs
on Revolution Square filled the
tropical air with praise Monday for
a papal visit that stands to bring
both financial and political capital
to this communist island.
Just two days before John Paul
II’s arrival, light blue posters of the
pontiff were posted on the doors of
homes, telephone poles — even bi
cycle taxis and vendors’ carts.
“This is so moving,” the Rev.
Manuel Cruz, a priest from Newark,
N.J., who attended the rehearsal of
choir members from Havana
churches, said. “This is a marvel of
grace and a blessing.”
Communist leaders also are ex
cited by the five-day visit, which be
gins Wednesday.
President Fidel Castro has called
on Cubans to fill the plaza for the pa
pal Mass on Sunday, and to attend
earlier Masses in the cities of Santa
Clara, Camaguey and Santiago.
The aim is not just to welcome
the pope, but to prove to the world
that Cuba, which is hugely secular
though 40 percent of the people are
baptized Roman Catholics, respects
religious freedom.
Castro’s government has devot
ed much of its manpower and re
sources to the success of this land
mark papal visit, which stands to
bring in millions of dollars from
the thousands of visiting pilgrims
and reporters.
But Economy Minister Jose Luis
Rodriguez rejected suggestions
Monday that the government is
treating the pontiff’s stay as a prof
it-making proposition. “The gov
ernment does not see the visit as a
business,” he said.
Rodriguez refused to estimate how
much revenue the trip would bring
this foreign currency-starved country
of 11 million people. Independent es
timates say it could bring the govern
ment as much as $20 million.
Individual Cubans stand to prof
it as well, especially through a gov
ernment decree allowing them to
rent rooms to tourists this month
without securing special approval
or paying taxes.
Cuba has been struggling to find
new ways to capture foreign ex
change since the collapse of the So
viet-led trade block in the early 1990s.
