The Argentine Church has supported the message of the pope so that there is no "bloodbath" in Venezuela

The Church of Argentina today approved the message of Pope Francis about the political, economic and social crisis that Venezuela is going through and stressed that "the Holy See does not have the historical habit of specifically condemning this government. or this one. "

The Argentine Episcopal Conference (CEA) stressed that the Sovereign Pontiff will insist on his role as mediator between the Venezuelan government and the opposition so that "there is no blood bath and that it there is a real reconciliation ".

This is precisely what Francisco pointed out in his last message about Venezuela and that, for the detractors of the Maduro administration, it was a kind of support for the Chavista leader.

But the Argentine Church, through an official message that spread after the World Catholic Youth Meeting in Panama, denied Francisco's support for Maduro.

"The Holy See is not historically accustomed to specifically condemning this government or this other government." The Holy See and its diplomacy are traditionally placed in a plan and in a place authorized to be used in case the dialogue is activated ", maintained the bishops of Argentina in this direction.

Maduro asks Pope Francis to intervene to "facilitate dialogue" in Venezuela

ECA welcomed the pope's idea of ​​calling for dialogue "so that there is no bloodshed and that there is real reconciliation and that the conflict can be resolved and resolved with a way forward "in Venezuela.

In this line, the Bishop of San Isidro, Bishop Oscar Ojea, said that "the pope does not want to lose this place" as a mediator and regretted that after his return from Panama he noticed that In Buenos Aires "Maduro or not, it was the only thing that interested him."

According to the president of the CEA, Francisco was responsible for clarifying this during his trip in the plane where he had launched this controversial sentence in which he feared "a bloodbath in Venezuela" and that it was too early for him to take sides. because it could cause more damage.

In the past few hours, Maduro sent a letter to the pope asking him to help establish a dialogue with the opposition. In this letter, the chavist leader expected "a positive response" to facilitate discussions with the sectors that demand his departure. (N / A)
