Cuban Cardinal Jaime Ortega Alamino speaks Jan. 11 at the opening of an art exhibit in Havana commemorating the fifth anniversary of the historic visit of Pope John Paul II to Cuba. He said that since the pope’s visit church relations with the Cuban government «remain essentially the same» and that «it appears often the church is ignored.» (CNS photo from Reuters) (Jan. 13, 2003)
