Pope Benedict is heading to Cuba today, where he is expected to celebrate mass in Santiago, a city considered the cradle of the Cuban revolution. Over the weekend, the Pope wrapped up a trip to Mexico where some protesters criticized the Catholic Church’s stance on women’s issues and reproductive rights.

Yara, Mexican rights activist: “The Catholic Church has millions and millions of dollars in their bags, and they get richer every day with a false sense of morality, and they’re very clerical. They accuse women who have abortions, and they tolerate priests who rape and commit acts of pedophilia. In reality, they are very hypocritical. I am completely against someone else deciding what I do with my body. We are here to demand our right to choose.”
