This Wikipedia article records that Cuba is the only communist state whose diplomatic relations with the Holy See, dating to 1935, were never broken, that Popes John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis visited in 1998, 2012 and 2015 respectively, and that Francis used his 2015 visit to press the Cuban government to give citizens greater freedom, means and space to practice their faith.
