Pope's Cuba sermon calls for hope and Catholic education
Pope John Paul II addressed tens of thousands at an open air Mass in Camaguey urging expanded Catholic education in Communist Cuba where church schools were closed after 1959. He urged youth formation and warned against alcohol and drugs while noting Cuba's economic hardships and U.S. embargo impact. He planned to visit Havana University and Santiago, with talk of possible prisoner releases as Vatican mediation continues.
