O Connor eyes Moscow Mass televised across Soviet Union
Cardinal John J. O'Connor spoke at a Havana news conference about a serious proposal for him to celebrate Christmas Mass in Moscow televised nationwide. He declined to name the proposer, noting it could boost church access to airwaves. Castro indicated possible quick releases of political prisoners if visas are granted. O'Connor also discussed visa increases for foreign nuns and US Cuban health cooperation, stressing the church transcends politics. The visit followed three hours of talks with Castro, who praised the church and pope.
