More than three weeks after a much ballyhooed meeting between the dictator Raúl Castro and Cardinal Jaime Ortega, we're still waiting to see if it will make that much of a difference in the lives of Cuban political prisoners.
But a day after joining her husband in a hunger strike to protest his treatment at his new prison, Alejandrina García de la Riva wins concessions from prison officials about how they will treat Diosdado González.
No wonder the dictatorship fears the Damas De Blanco, because unlike the church García and the other women with family members in prison have the courage and commitment needed to stand up to the Castro tyranny. They refuse to back down.
Church leaders may have the willingness to make a deal with the Castro dictatorship, but so far they have not displayed the character needed to prevail in this confrontation with evil.
