Castro Attends Funeral for Pope—“Your Departure Pains Us, Unforgettable Friend, and We Fervently Wish Your Example is Lasting”![]() (Havana, Cuba) Joining the millions around the world in mourning the death of Pope John Paul II was Fidel Castro, in his first visit to a Cathedral in decades, church officials say.
