"According to our estimates, this has resulted in the internment of thousands of beggars, panhandlers, ragamuffins, the mentally ill and other vulnerable wanderers, most of them homeless," the commission said in a statement, contending the operation was conducted with approval from Cuba's highest authorities.

HAVANA: A dissident human rights group on Friday accused the Cuban government of "social cleansing" ahead of a three-night visit by Pope Francis, saying police had rounded up thousands of beggars and homeless people in three cities where the pope will travel.

This is the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church at its finest "if" the pope doesn't have dissidents released...or all the people rounded up...

So it's not only the poor it's the mentally ill and people the Cuban dousch bag government sees fit to meet the guy in the dress

Is it the Church or is it Castro doing what totalitarian, communist regimes tend to do with problems in literally disappearing them? Castro is one with particular skill and long experience with that. Ask the rather large and thriving Cuban ex-pat community in South Florida. The folks Obama sold down the river with this ...and the Dems figure Florida will be a lock again? lol... :rofl:

Anyway, I just hope Fidel and Raul deem to allow the less fortunate to leave their cells again some day. They haven't always been the best about remembering that part in the past.

This has happened before, earlier this year in Singapore, as I recall -- it's not the Pope's doing, rather the government who probably don't want the Pope wagging his finger at their neglect of the poor people in their country.

Cheeky fellow actually practices what he preaches... he issued an order that Catholic parishes take in refugees in this European crisis, and today, this: Refugee family swaps Syrian hell for Vatican flat.
