Francis, who is due to visit both Cuba and the United States in September, is a member of the Jesuit religious order. Castro joked that "even I am a Jesuit in a certain sense" because he was educated by the Jesuits before the revolution.

That's the French spelling... but to be consistent, Mary would have to be Marie.
