Pope Francis Holds Mass at “Revolution Square”

Pope Francis held a public mass at Cuba’s Revolution Square on Sunday. Francis spoke to the crowd below a large portrait of communist revolutionary Che Guevara. Francis has written about an economic vision he has for the world similar to that of Guevara and Cuban President Raul Castro. He has previously called capitalism “a new tyranny.” America has dominated the world’s capitalist economic system since the end of World War II.
