Jesuit Tutor of Castro Dies

MIAMI (CNS)—He taught Fidel Castro. And then his former student forced him to leave Cuba.But Jesuit Father Amando Llorente—who at one point conceived of creating a religious order of sheepherders—gathered his sheep once more in exile, re-establishing the Agrupacion Catolica Universitaria in Miami.He spent the rest of his priestly ministry "forming Catholics for the church," as he put it, in a paraphrase of Cuban patriot Jose Marti's line that "whoever would build a homeland must build up men."
