Cuba responds to the Pope by releasing half a thousand prisoners in the context of Jubilee 2025

The announcement came on the same day the U.S. government revealed a policy shift that included removing Cuba from its list of state sponsors of terrorism and easing certain restrictions on the island nation. While the Cuban government did not explicitly link its prisoner release to these U.S. measures, both actions reflect a renewed focus on fostering dialogue and improving living conditions for the Cuban people.

Please join me in praying that God will fill the hearts of mothers and fathers suffering the emotional and psychological wounds from abortion with the hope of forgiveness that only He can give”, says a bishop on behalf of the entire church in the U.S.
