Obama Confirms: Pope Francis Made ‘Personal Appeal’ on Alan Gross

  • Duration: 6:49
  • Updated: 17 Dec 2014
All those Cuban-American lawmakers who are furious at President Barack Obama for normalizing relations with Cuba this morning may want to direct some of their anger at Pope Francis I. During his remarks on the release of American citizen Alan Gross from Cuban imprisonment Wednesday afternoon, the president confirmed earlier reports that the Pope had made “personal appeals” to both him and Cuban president Raul Castro leading up to the eventual deal. After saying that discussions regarding Gross’ release had been ongoing for month, President Obama revealed that, “His Holiness Pope Francis issued a personal appeal to me and to Cuban President Raul Castro urging us to resolve Alan’s case and to address Cuba’s interest in the release of three Cuban agents who have been jailed in the United States for over 15 years.” Towards the end of his speech, President Obama thanked those who have supported the measures that helped bring Gross home. “In particular, I want to thank Pope Francis, whose moral example shows us importance of pursuing the world as it should be rather than simply settling for the world as it is,” he said.
