Over 15 Catholic Priests, Religious in Cuba Write Open Letter to the People of Cuba: "To Live in Truth and Freedom reveals our real power as citizens"

1/24/2021

 
On the 23rd anniversary of Pope John Paul II's historic trip to Cuba, fifteen Catholic priests from throughout the island published a letter today to the people of Cuba. Stressing the dignity of the person, they stressed that the "fundamental option to live in truth and freedom reveals our real power as citizens." The letter with an English translation is embedded at the end of this post

"Governments exist for the people and by the people. Just as a common citizen has rights and duties, so does the State. It is time to overcome the fallacy that we should be grateful for what in reality are the State’s duties. Health, education, social welfare, civil peace, leisure and recreation, democracy and freedom of expression— among others, they are not gifts but rights, and the State exists to guarantee them," said the Catholic religious leaders, priests from several provinces.
