Hugo Chavez Starts His Own Church!!!


I guess Hugo was just Kidding!!!

Drell Descants has the story at Hugo Chavez Adopts Piskie Liberalism For His New National Church

"The Bolivarian Church, which models itself on the nationalist catholic church formed in Nineteenth century Mexico that has since become the Anglican Church of Mexico, uses the Episcopal Church’s Book of Common Prayer and has adopted a liberal moral ethos, making clerical celibacy optional, permitting divorce and remarriage, and holding that homosexual conduct is not immoral."

Good Grief. I guess That Primate Chavez is not a big reader of the papers and seeing that such a model is big failure!!! See impending Anglican Schism!!

For the Catholic Reaction see the Catholic News Agency's piece The real Church of Christ has no party affiliation, says Venezuelan cardinal
