Cuban Bishops are in Rome for a meeting with John Paul II


A group of Cuban bishops visiting Rome is to meet Pope John Paul Tuesday to discuss his visit to Cuba last February.

A Vatican spokesman said the Pope wanted to discuss the prospects that his visit had opened up for the Roman Catholic Church and the people of Cuba.

The thirteen bishops -- who arrived in Rome for four days of talks on Monday -- will also attend a mass to be held by the Pope on Thursday to celebrate Corpus Christi.
