Pope Benedict has arrived in Cuba, the start of a three-day visit. He was welcomed at the airport by President Raul Castro as well as military band and an artillery salute. Pope Benedict said he’d come to Cuba as a pilgrim of charity and would pray for peace, liberty and reconciliation. Sarah Rains will give us a sense of the expectations for the visit.
We have a huge amount of expectations around the visit partly because Cuba is right now at the center of world attention and for a politically isolated island like this one that something pretty unusual. I have spoken to a lot of people who aren’t Catholic who say that they attend the Masses both in Santiago and in Havana just because they want to be there, because of such a major event for this island. The Catholic Church hopes that this can revitalize the faith from the island of Cuba which was they fear for 40 years.
President Raul Castro says socialist Cuba allows full freedom of religion. He stressed that Cuba was determined to defend its independence in the face of US embargo.

The moderate Islamist Ennahda which heads Tunisia’s coalition government says it won’t support calls by conservatives to enshrine Islamic law or Sharia in the country’s new constitution. From Cairo here is John Leyne.
The moderate Islamist party that secured the most seats in recent elections wanted the wording of the old constitution to remain the same, stating only that Islam is the state religion. That would disappoint conservatives and relief liberals and secularists who fear a tide of Islamism sweeping across the region in the wake of recent revolutions.
