Subscribe to RSSNBC's Andrea Mitchell and Mark Potter talk about the changes in the relationship between Cuba and America during the Obama administration.
Pope Benedict XVI is on a state visit to Cuba this week hoping to highlight the role of the Roman Catholic Church on the Communist island, as well as making subtle push for change.
Benedict called for "renewal and hope, for the greater good of all Cubans," during a speech on Tuesday. "I have also prayed to the Virgin for the needs of those who suffer, of those who are deprived of freedom, those who are separated from their loved ones or who are undergoing times of difficulty."
But the Cuban government was quick to say that there "will not be political reform" in the country as a result of the pope's visit.
NBC News' Mark Potter is in Havana. He answered interesting reader questions about Benedict's visit earlier today.

I'll bet that old guy is tired... Probably too pooped to Pope!
Think the pope can convert the NBC atheist?
With Cuba being phucked over by old Soviet thoughts and failed governmental programs and the Castro Bros., the Cuban people sure don't need a mind phuck by the head of the world's largest criminal organization, the Catholic Church.
Bottom line - who cares what the Pope says? He is the head of the biggest scam in the world of religion. So, hush.
