At their “request,” Pope Francis met Venezuela’s top bishops Thursday. Discussions centered on the country’s growing political unrest against a “cruelly” repressive government.

Six bishops, including Venezuelan Episcopal Conference (CEV) President Archbishop Diego Padrón Sánchez of Cumaná, Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino of Caracas, and Cardinal Baltazar Porras Cardozo of Mérida came to tell His Holiness the “very direct, crude, realistic view of the situation we are going through.”

The Vatican’s daily bulletin listed the meeting but without specific details.

“The situation is very, very grave,” Urosa Savino told Crux Tuesday. “What we see is a people who are suffering, who are being humiliated, and who are being cruelly repressed” by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s regime.

Pope Francis is infatuated with Maduro and his socialist government.

For some reason Pope Francis seems to get off on the human suffering caused by the Maduro regime.

It appears that the Bishops had to literally beg Pope Francis for a meeting and then Pope Francis ignored them.

Given the current political situation in the Vatican it is likely that these Bishops will soon be replaced by Pope Francis.

There is a very informative picture of Pope Francis and Maduro in the article.

The Communist Pope’s answer will be to have the US open its borders and let the poor, suffering masses of Venezuela in to the US.

Communism is like a swarm of locusts going from location to location, stripping it of everything useful or productive, then moving on to the next location when they’re done. That’s what this Pope advocates.

Pope John Paul II would have taken the first meeting at the very first call.

And then he would have assisted them.

This Pope sees nothing wrong on Venezuela since they had to beg for a meeting, after all he is a new age Marxist.

[Tzimisce]

People like me warned the Venezuelans not to vote for Chavez.

And we were laughed at, mocked, made fun of, called “racists” (and worse).

So enjoy your starvation.

>>... the Episcopal conference... <<

You know it’s bad when the Episcopalians don’t like a lefty. (/clueless. ;-) )

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Is the Pope visiting Venezuela to see firsthane the success of the kind of socialist society he praises?

[dangus]

May no-one ever laugh at you while you starve because Americans were foolish enough to elect men such as Obama.

Do not dehumanize people suffering because they share a body politic with fools, for we all do.
