description This paper discusses the relationship between the Catholic Church and the State in Cuba from the beginning of the revolutionary process (1959) to the present day. In this sense, it examines three key moments: the tension and distance in the context of the transition to socialism developed in the country; the reapproaching that culminated with the visit of Pope John Paul II in the 90s, still under the impact of the fall of the Soviet bloc and the international isolation faced by the country, and finally the more recent relationships, marked by the visit of the Pope, now emeritus, Benedict XVI and the affirmation of the Catholic Church as the main internal interlocutor with the Cuban government. Thus, this work demonstrates that the strained relations in the 60s were replaced by the establishment of stable relationships, a checkered normality, which enabled the emergence of the Catholic Church as a key actor in the current Cuban political context.
