Fidel is in essence a bona fide Christian given his instinct to help the poor and oppressed in the pre-revolutionary CubaBy diego gonzalezThis interview is astounding!!! The renown liberation theologian engages Fidel in a candid conversation that highlights the humanistic qualities of this misunderstood statesman. The whole irony of the interview is that through action and not religious dogma; Fidel had given the ordinary Cubans both spiritual and material wellness as can be seen in the universal healthcare and education; among other things. Fidel is in essence a bona fide Christian given his instinct to help the poor and oppressed in the pre-revolutionary Cuba. Wasn't Jesus the first real Communist???
