History's being made in Cuba. Pope Benedict travelling to Havana where all eyes are watching for what could be a very rare sighting of Fidel Castro. ABC's global affair’s anchor Christiane Amanpour is there for us right now. Christiane, good morning to you.
Josh, the Pope is going to meet with President Raul Castro today. What's happened since the last time the Pope was here is that the Catholic Church's got stronger. It is the only really sanctioned agent of chain between the people and the Castro government. Now at the big outdoor Mass in Santiago to Cuba yesterday, there was one protester who shouted “Down with the revolution”. And he was led away by police.
Now there hasn't been that much political opening, in fact, hardly any at all. But there has been a huge amount of economic opening, a lot of small businesses in private enterprise. And there is going to be a huge outdoor Mass here in the capital tomorrow. There is rumor that perhaps Fidel Castro, the aging revolutionary hero to Cuban's people, will be there at that Mass.
