Pope Not Happy With Chavez

[Dr. Shane]

Chavez Flays Catholic Leaders

Quote:

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez slammed the nation's Roman Catholic Church leadership as "morally unacceptable" late on Sunday for criticizing his proposal to rewrite the constitution to scrap term limits.

Chavez's reform plan, which voters are expected to approve in a December referendum, also includes allowing security forces to detain citizens without charge during political "emergencies" or major natural disasters.

Church leaders on Friday issued a strongly-worded statement accusing Chavez of seeking to concentrate power with an "authoritarian" proposal to overhaul the OPEC nation's constitution that he helped rewrite in 1999.

Can't the Pope let a guy become a dictator in peace?

I saw a report a month or so ago where Chavez is forcing private church schools to adopt a government format to teach loyalty to his government. I guess he is afraid the churches could cause a revolt. And... of course he is probably right.
