Cuba's dialogue with the Church

Hope -- and controversy -- after dialogue with Church - - Five weeks after Cuba's Raúl Castro and Catholic church leaders held unprecedented talks on political prisoners, the result has been some modest improvements, much hope and lots of controversy.

As noted, it's obvious any improvements are purely cosmetic, human rights abuses continue, and Castro is talking to Church leaders because they are no threat.

Why is the Church providing political cover to the Castros?
