| Summary: | In Cuba the Catholic church is institutionally the weakest of Latin America. It may also be the least innovative theologically. A preoccupation of the hierarchy is to attract youth to the church and religious life. While the course of studies at the Catholic seminaries has been revised to reflect changes emanating from Vatican II, progressive theological developments are not emphasized. The church does not have media access to make its presence felt. There is no Catholic press and education is limited to religious instruction on church premises |
