Abstract
As the Cuban Revolution has moved more openly toward a reapproachment with the Christian community and the Catholic Church in recent years, many outside the Revolution have viewed this as a tactical move. Some see it as an attempt to win favor with the United States in an effort to reestablish relations. Others consider it a by-product of events in Central and Latin America where the Catholic Church plays a key role. Some accuse the Communist leader of being opportunistic or hypocritical.
