WASHINGTON DC - Illinois U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D) introduced a Senate resolution thanking Pope Francis for his help in securing the release of prisoner Alan Gross from Cuba.
Durbin, who has been critical of past pontiffs and Catholic theology in general, said: “Pope Francis seems to find new ways every day to make the world a little better,” said Durbin. “Over the past 18 months, that included sensitive negotiations for the release of an American aid worker and helping to mend the relationship between the United States and Cuba. Because of his work my friend Alan Gross is home again with his family.”
