VISIT OF HIS HOLINESS THE POPE TO CUBA

Early day motion 671, tabled 21 January 1998 by John Wilkinson (Conservative). Signed by 21 members.

That this House warmly welcomes the visit of His Holiness the Pope to Cuba; and believes that his spiritual leadership and courageous personal example will be an inspiration to the people of Cuba now as they were to people behind the Iron Curtain during the dark days of the Cold War who similarly suffered too long under state-sponsored atheism and authoritarian Marxist government.
