About the author
Pope Benedict XVI met privately with Fidel Castro after saying Mass in Havana’s Revolutionary Square — the centerpiece of this trip — before tens of thousands this morning.
During the morning service, with President Raul Castro and leading Cabinet members present, Benedict pushed for reform within the Cuban government.
“Cuba and the world need change, but this will occur only if each one is in a position to seek the truth and chooses the way of love, sowing reconciliation and fraternity,” he said.
Fidel Castro did not attend the Mass — he said he caught the entire visit on the TV — but for a half-hour afterward he met with the 84-year-old pontiff.

Screens of each color overprinted on one another create a wide gamut of color. The downside to this printing method is that screened colors if examined closely will reveal tiny dots, whereas spot color cards are printed solid in most cases. Spot colors should be used for simple cards with line art or non-black type that is smaller than 5 points.*
