O <3 ory 8A
Who is the "Holy author of our religion" discussed in the
passage?
Well aware that Almighty God hath created the mind free
and that all attempts to influence it by... punishments..
or by civil incapacitations, tend only to beget habits of
hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure from the
plan of the Holy author of our religion.
O God
O Jefferson
O the Founding Fathers
O the Constitution

i think it would be reparing roads  

so, based on the research i've done. the u.s. government were always on a wild goose chase just to take down castro. he then retired his trone to his brother raul in 2008 due to some health issues. so it's obvious your answer would be:

castro had no allies from which he could receive aid.

hope this and have a fantastic day!
