CWN Editor's Note: Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced yesterday that the United States is “working in close partnership with the Catholic Church in Cuba” to deliver disaster aid “transparently and effectively.”

“Consistent with our longstanding policy, we have taken extraordinary measures to ensure that this assistance reaches the Cuban people directly, without interference or diversion by the illegitimate regime,” Rubio said of the US aid for victims of Hurricane Melissa.
