PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
VISIT OF HIS HOLINESS THE POPE TO CUBA (21 January 1998)
Motion Details
That this House warmly welcomes the visit of His Holiness the Pope to Cuba; and believes that his spiritual leadership and courageous personal example will be an inspiration to the people of Cuba now as they were to people behind the Iron Curtain during the dark days of the Cold War who similarly suffered too long under state-sponsored atheism and authoritarian Marxist government.
