from: When pope meets Castro, much at stake for both

The pope had a 35-minute private talk on Nov 19, 1996 with Castro. Cuban Catholics are no longer banned from the Communist Party. The pope decries economic sanctions. These compromises may show that both men have matured in their understanding of how to bring relief to the human conditions.

When Pope John Paul II and Cuba President Fidel Castro met in Rome Nov. 19, it seemed the spirit of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin had crossed the Atlantic. If press reports and Vatican accounts of their 35-minute private conversation are accurate, the two men, both characteristically stubborn, both icons on opposite sides of a profound historical, ideological and political divide, discovered enough common ground to advance plans for a papal visit to Cuba next year.
