Cuba’s Offer of Dialogue: A Mask for Communist Oppression and Conciliar Complicity
EWTN News reports on February 5, 2026, that Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel declared his regime’s willingness to engage in dialogue with the United States, demanding it occur “without pressure,” “on equal terms,” and without addressing Cuba’s internal affairs. The article notes the Cuban bishops’ recent warning of “social chaos” due to economic collapse, exacerbated by U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba. While Díaz-Canel postures as open to “civilized” neighborly relations, the article omits the regime’s six-decade persecution of the Church, the bishops’ silence on communism’s intrinsic evil, and the conciliar sect’s betrayal of Cuba’s martyrs.
The Bishops’ Cowardice: Naturalism Over Catholic Duty
The Cuban bishops’ February 2026 message reduces the island’s crisis to mere “structural changes,” ignoring the regnum sociale Christi (social reign of Christ) demanded by Catholic doctrine. Their warning of “social chaos” deliberately obscures the root cause: communism’s systematic denial of God’s authority over nations. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) condemns such silence: “Rulers of states…must fulfill their duty [to Christ the King] themselves and with their people, if they wish to maintain their authority inviolate.” By reducing their plea to socioeconomic terms—while omitting calls to abolish Cuba’s atheist regime—the bishops enact the modernist heresy of separating faith from public life, condemned in Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864): “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55).
Dialogue as a Satanic Parody of Truth
Díaz-Canel’s demand for dialogue “on equal footing” is a blasphemous inversion of Christ’s kingship. No Catholic state—much less a Satanic regime—may negotiate “equality” with truth. As Pius XI teaches in Quas Primas, “The state is happy not by one means, and man by another; for the state is nothing else than a harmonious association of men” under Christ’s law. The article’s claim that Cuba seeks “mutual benefit” ignores its 65-year record of executing priests, shuttering seminaries, and outlawing public worship. St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907) condemns such naturalistic deception: “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Error 20). Dialogue with evil regimes legitimizes their crimes—a betrayal of martyrs like Blessed José López Piteira, murdered by Castro’s agents in 1961 for refusing to deny Christ.
Omission as Complicity: The Unspoken Persecution
The article whitewashes Cuba’s persecution of Catholics, reducing dissent to vague “repression of those who express dissenting opinions.” In reality, the regime has:
“interrogated priests, confiscated Church property, and banned religious education since 1959”
—acts condemned by Pius XII as “crimes against the Divine Majesty.” The bishops’ silence echoes the conciliar sect’s 1965 Gaudium et Spes, which praised communist “collaboration” (¶26). True shepherds, like St. Pius X, would denounce Díaz-Canel’s regime as Pius XI did Soviet Russia: “A society which is without religion…can never be part of that City of God, the Church” (Divini Redemptoris, ¶18).
U.S. Complicity in Cuba’s Apostasy
The article frames U.S. sanctions as worsening Cuba’s crisis but ignores America’s own apostasy. Trump’s tariffs treat Cuba as a geopolitical rival, not a soul-destroying tyranny. True Catholic states would follow Pius IX’s mandate: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself…with modern civilization” (Error 80) only if civilization submits to Christ. Instead, both nations reduce morality to economics—a modernist heresy denounced in Lamentabili Sane: “Moral laws do not stand in need of the divine sanction” (Error 56).
