Pope Francis celebrated mass in Cuba Sunday before hundreds of thousands of worshipers in Havana’s Revolution Square. Born in Argentina, Francis is the first Latin American pope. He is widely praised in Cuba for helping to broker secret talks with Washington that resulted in the further normalization of U.S.-Cuban relations. After arriving in Cuba Saturday, Pope Francis praised the detente between Cuba and the United States as “an example of reconciliation for the entire world.” On Tuesday, Pope Francis arrives in Washington, where he will address Congress and meet with President Obama. We’ll have more on the pope’s visit to Cuba after headlines.
