HAVANA, CUBA - MARCH 25: Father Frederic Comalat prepares to give communion to parishioners during a morning service at Santo Angel Custodio church a day before Pope Benedict XVI is scheduled to arrive in Cuba on March 25, 2012 in Havana, Cuba. Benedict, who will be arriving from Mexico, will conduct a mass in the city of Santiago de Cuba first followed by a mass in Havana before leaving on the 28th. Tensions are high in Cuba between some dissidents and the government as activists hope the international exposure of the Papal visit will result in renewed attention to their struggle (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images).
