Rome (dpa) - Cuban President Raul Castro says he likes Pope Francisso much that he may convert back to Catholicism.
"I read all of the pope's speeches," Castro says in a press conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, after a Vatican audience with the pontiff.
"If the pope continues to talk in this way, sooner or later I will start praying again and rejoin the Catholic Church, I am not kidding," Castro says.
Recalling that he was educated in a Jesuit school, he says he joked with the pope, telling him: "I listened to more masses than you."
