I see you liked the EL SUR website! I knew it was up your alley!

"Chávez, 55, has tried to concentrate power around himself since he was elected in 1998. He has been increasingly suspicious of the Church's educational and charitable activity, which he regards as competition."

Funny how these megalomaniacal dictators always feel like the Church is "competition." This is such a telling comment. It just shows how angry it makes these wacky dictators like Chavez that some folks choose to worship God instead of them.

Yes. I'm going to be regularly checking El Sur. Thanks so much

BTW, you'll enjoy this, if you haven't already.

Chavez's image taken off altars *** Lately, Chavez declared himself a member of a charismatic congregation, thus allegedly belonging to his country's fastest-growing branch of Christianity. But then he angered the country's National Catholic Bishops Conference by communing at a Mass organized by a priest of pro-Communist leanings.***
