Venezuela's Chavez responsible for reviving liberation theology in Latin America... http://www.pr-inside.com/venezuela-s-chavez-responsible-for-r1813914.htm

The President's theological contribution to Latin America is contained very simply in the last line of his column. "In observing this sacred Sunday, we reiterate that our revolution has in Christ of the dispossessed the greatest guide in the struggle for human dignity ... we follow in his footsteps."

The faithful will not hear that message from the country's bishops but instead one of nebulous reconciliation and national unity, which is precisely the opposition's message. The bishops cannot even stop the spread of evangelism and pentecostalism in Venezuela, never mind deal with Chavez.

As Jesuit priest, Jose Gazo pointed out in an Correo del Orinoco article: Chavez is the best of all preachers together because Chavez believes what he feels and has the advantage of loving the people and loving Jesus.Some of the top dogs in the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) are not happy with the President's Christian discourse nor is the White House, the US State Department or the Pentagon. It is much harder to combat Christ than Marx.
