5. Cuba is a heavily Catholic country...

While the government, under Castro, was officially hostile towards the Church, they didn't really make a serious attempt at suppressing the religion itself. I guess another comparison would be in the USSR and the Russian Orthodox Church, at first they Communist party tried to suppress the church wholly, but for practical reasons they couldn't do it, and had an uneasy truce with that Church. Cuba, lately, has relaxed the rules on religion wholesale recently.
