Caracas Daily Journal (Jeremy Morgan): The vice president of the Venezuelan Episcopal Conference, Archbishop Roberto Luckert of Coro, claimed that the government intended to back the creation of a "reformed" Catholic Church, warning this could cost it votes at the elections scheduled for November 23.
"I understand that this government doesn’t even accept what’s called the philosophy of history because what they’re trying to do failed in history," Luckert was reported to have said on Friday.
Luckert’s claims and complaints seemed to have something to do with a Mass that is said to have been held by Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo -- who resigned his position as a bishop to run for elected office -- during his official visit to Venezuela last week. He also questioned why the Defense Ministry was supposedly trying to install a "priest in every barracks."
The archbishop went on to claim that an individual, Jon Jen Shu Garcia, a member of the National Guard (GN) and married with children, was to be "ordained" as a "supposed" bishop on July 29.
