It'd be the biggest conversion since Oscar Wilde:

> [Fidel Castro wants Pope Benedict XVI to visit Cuba, an Italian prelate has disclosed](http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=41356&ref=thedailyeudemon.com).

> The Cuban dictator told Cardinal Bertone that he saw Pope Benedict as a man with "the face of an angel-- the face of a very good man." Castro asked the Italian cardinal: "Could you tell the Pope that I want to invite him here?"

> Cardinal Bertone said that he promised to relay the message, while at the same time reminding Castro that, because of his age, the Pope does not plan to travel frequently.

> The cardinal reported that Castro also declared himself in favor of the rapid beatification of Pope John Paul II.
