Cuba’s Religious Decline Exposes Post-Conciliar Collapse of Consecrated Life
ACI Prensa reports on Cuba’s vocational crisis, noting the annual disappearance of women’s religious congregations while paradoxically claiming consecrated life remains an “indispensable pillar” for the island’s “evangelizing mission.” Father Ricardo Sola, president of the Cuban Conference of Religious, admits to 118 surviving congregations – mostly foreign sisters from 65 nations – sustaining Cuba’s crumbling ecclesiastical infrastructure. The article frames this demographic collapse as perseverance rather than systemic failure of post-conciliar religious formation, ignoring the rupture with Tradition that caused it.
