Os bispos da Venezuela se juntaram a 7 milhões de venezuelanos em um referendo não oficial que rejeita a tentativa do presidente Nicolas Maduro de reescrever a constituição do país em seu favor.
Os milicianos pró-Maduro andam atacando igrejas, bispos e fiéis.
O Papa Francisco, no entanto, não mostrou sinal público de apoio ao referendo.
Não sigo de perto o que ocorre na Venezuela. Mas há muitos anos que o país é um exemplo de um país pária, um exemplo do socialismo idiota e iditotizante. Não sei dizer como os bispos se posicionaram desde a entrada de Hugo Chávez, imagino que alguns estupidamente apoiaram Chávez. E sei que as posições do Papa Francisco foram vacilantes, para dizer o mínimo.
Em todo caso, vale a notícia deles apoiando a saída do inepto Maduro.
Vejam reportagem do site Crux.
Venezuelan bishops join the people in protest vote against Maduro
July 17, 2017
ROME
- Over seven million Venezuelans voted on Sunday in an unofficial referendum to
reject President Nicolás Maduro’s attempts at re-writing the country’s
constitution.
Reflecting the country’s
increasingly brittle situation, the day brought both the death of a woman and
the taking hostage of a cardinal and some 200 people inside a Catholic church.
Cardinal Jorge Urosa
Savino, Archbishop of Caracas, was at the Church of Our Lady of Carmen, when
pro-Maduro militias forced him and the faithful to find refuge inside. When
they were eventually allowed to leave, many were wounded.
A woman, 63-year-old
Xiomara Soledad Scott, was killed when men on motorbikes opened fire on the
church.
Maduro tried to counter
the show of support by the opposition by holding a “practice vote” for his new
constitutional assembly at the same time. The actual election is due to take
place on July 30.
The Venezuelan bishops
strongly supported the referendum, even though, legally speaking, it has no
standing because it’s rejected by Maduro. On July 12, the prelates sent out an “Urgent message to Catholics and all people of goodwill.”
Among many things, they
said it was a “provocation” from the government to hold the “practice voting,”
warning that it could lead to “regrettable conflicts,” which in the end is what
happened.
“The people continue to
demand the respect of their dignity and rights,” the bishops wrote.
Through Twitter, the
communications office of the bishops’ conference shared many pictures of
bishops taking part in the referendum, once again taking a clear stance “always
on the side of the rights of the people,”
Many of the bishops voted
in the unofficial referendum wearing their purple zucchetto in addition to
the pectoral cross.
Among those whose
pictures were shared was Archbishop Diego Padrón, president of the bishops’
conference, Cardinals Baltazar Enrique Porras and Urosa, and Archbishop
Reinaldo del Prette. Archbishop
Ulises Gutiérrez of Bolivar, defined Sunday as the “most important day in
recent times,” a day in which “the people of Venezuela expressed its will for a
total change in the path the country is taking.”
Pope Francis did not mention the referendum, but
as it was taking place, he again mentioned Venezuela at the end of his Sunday
Angelus prayer in St. Peter’s Square. Greeting the Venezuelan Catholic
community in Italy, he renewed his prayer for this “beloved country.”
With the pontiff’s support, the bishops have long requested the freeing of
political prisoners, opening of a humanitarian corridor to allow basic
necessities such as food and medicine to enter the country, and for Maduro to
allow elections.
On Sunday, after the referendum, Julio Borges,
who leads the opposition-controlled National Assembly, said that “Venezuela
stood up with dignity.
“We don’t want to be Cuba,” he also said. “We
don’t want to be a country without freedom.”
In March, the Supreme Court decided it would take
over the National Assembly. After much protest and accusations from the
opposition of Maduro trying to stage a coup, the decision was reversed.
However, soon after Maduro called for a constitutional assembly to re-write a
constitution adopted under his predecessor, Hugo Chavez.
Since then, protests up and down the country have
been a daily occurrence. Some 100 people have been killed in clashes stemming
from the political conflict. Basic necessities, such as medicine and food, are
in short supply.

Os subsidiarios vermelhos da maçonaria onde colocam suas patas garantem atraso, miseria, chantagens gerais, extrema violencia, destruição e mortes!
São tangidos por forças satãnicas controladoras desses seus teleguiados, decorrendo disso o ímpeto deles para infernizarem o mundo, impondo a agenda daquelas a ferro e fogo tais como os idem maometanos!
