Another Marxist Liturgist?

There were many interesting moments from Pope Benedict's visit to Cuber ("Cuba" for those of you outside 495) this week and most have been amply commented-upon in the blogopshere.  But something jumped out at me from a Reuters dispatch covering the Papal visit.  With regard to Benedict's brief meeting with Fidel Castro, we find the following:

"They discussed serious issues such as Church liturgy and the state of the world"

The Liturgy?  What on earth could this conversation have been like?  Consider that although he was raised a Catholic and educated by Jesuits (which could explain a lot) it's a safe bet that the old boy hasn't been to Mass very often in the past fifty years or so...
