Chavez Should “Bite His Tongue” and Stop Attacking Church, Archbishop Says

[bones_IV]

Amen Archbishop!

Caracas, Nov 7, 2007 (CNA).- The vice president of the Venezuelan Bishops’ Conference, Archbishop Roberto Luckert said this week President Hugo Chavez’s attacks on the Church are due to his dislike of opinion polls that show the public does not support his proposed constitutional reforms.
The archbishop said Chavez should “bite his tongue” and stop being “rude” and “degrading.” He recalled that for several years he has criticized Chavez for his “belligerent aggressive attitude” and for “picking a fight with everyone.” “You can’t govern like this,” he said.
Archbishop Luckert said Chavez’s aggressive attitude was because his is bothered by the polls that show little support for his reform. “Nobody likes this reform,” he said, “and even his supporters are afraid to go to vote.”

I wish our U.S. Bishop’s would have this same zeal.

Regarding what topic? Chavez is aggressively creating a socialist state and doing so by creating a captive and dependent audience.

What is going on in Venezuela is resembles nothing in the US.
So please clarify and narrow the topic when it comes to Chavez.

Oh no?

Socialism is has been creeping into the US govt and US society for decades now.

With already high taxes about to go higher with a democrat victory, as well as the passage of anti-Christian discrimination laws( which ironically, institutionalize discrimination against anyone with traditional Biblical moral beliefs) the US will come one giant step closer to Venezuela.

The Bishops in the US should definitly speak out against any and all politicians , whether candidates of not, who defend or promote abortion homophilia and all other kinds of immorality.

Shut up, Spain’s king tells Chavez

Spain’s King Juan Carlos told Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez to “shut up” as the Ibero-American summit drew to a close in Santiago, Chile.

The outburst came after Mr Chavez called former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar a “fascist”.

Mr Chavez then interrupted Spanish PM Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero’s calls for him to be more diplomatic, prompting the king’s outburst.

The actual phrase used by the king was “¿por qué no te callas?”

That means in Spanish “Why you do not shut up?”
Shut up would have been “Callate”.
Any ways is the same, the first was just more ironic.
