VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict wants to see Fidel Castro on his trip to Cuba next month but the meeting will depend on the health of the Caribbean country's revolutionary leader, a senior Vatican official told Reuters on Saturday.
The official, speaking on the sidelines of a ceremony after the pope elevated new cardinals, said the status of the meeting was still pending.
"It will depend on his health," the prelate said.
