Maybe he'll get a full mass funeral like Teddy Kennedy.
And the Catholic Church fails to surprise me, as Chavez gets a funeral mass, presided over by a cardinal. Thanks to daniel1212's post #1:
Rome - The Holy Mass in honor of the late President of Venezuela Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias will be held tomorrow Friday, March 8 at 7 pm in the Church of Santa Maria ai Monti, Via della Madonna dei Monti, 41, presided by Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino, Archbishop of Caracas who is in Rome to attend the conclave that will elect the new Pope. This was communicated to Fides by Cardinal Urosa Savino himself and called on all Venezuelans to participate in the Eucharist. http://www.news.va/en/news/americave...-the-late-pres
Note that Savino is quite a fringe RC who seems much in league with the theology of Chavez, and is the one saying the mass, and will attend the conclave that elects the new Pope.
