Les rapports entre Chavez et l’\u00c9glise v\u00e9n\u00e9zu\u00e9lienne ont \u00e9t\u00e9 difficiles depuis l’arriv\u00e9e au pouvoir de Chavez en 1998. La haute hi\u00e9rarchie de l’\u00c9glise au Venezuela a une position tr\u00e8s conservatrice classique, par cons\u00e9quent anti-Chavez le populiste et pro-US. Cette position avait \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9affirm\u00e9e ce week-end par le chef de cette hi\u00e9rarchie, le cardinal Rosalio Castillo Lara, \u00e0 l’occasion d’une rencontre entre le Cardinal et des repr\u00e9sentants de l’opposition. Le premier assurait aux seconds que la d\u00e9sob\u00e9issance civique \u00e9tait l\u00e9gitime face au gouvernement Chavez.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe Vatican, au contraire, cherche \u00e0 prendre ses distances avec l’activisme conservateur pro-US en Am\u00e9rique Latine, autant \u00e0 cause de l’analyse qu’en fait le Pape Beno\u00eet XVI que de l’impopularit\u00e9 grandissante des Am\u00e9ricains sur le continent. La hi\u00e9rarchie catholique de Rome estime d’autre part que l’\u00c9glise d’Am\u00e9rique Latine doit se r\u00e9aligner dans une position plus populiste pour bloquer les gains des mouvements protestants dans la r\u00e9gion. Le Venezuela \u00e9tait par cons\u00e9quent un terrain id\u00e9al pour illustrer d’une fa\u00e7on publique \u00e9tonnante ce conflit \u00e0 l’int\u00e9rieur de l’\u00c9glise. Cela n’a pas manqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe Vatican a profit\u00e9 des d\u00e9clarations du Cardinal Rosalio Castillo Lara pour fixer les choses vis-\u00e0-vis de son activisme, en le condamnant publiquement. Cette intervention extraordinaire par rapport aux usages du nonce apostolique \u00e0 Caracas Giacinto Berlocco mesure la pr\u00e9occupation de Rome \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard et l’intensit\u00e9 de l’affrontement.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tVoici ce qu’en dit Venezuelanalysis.com, le 24 octobre<\/a>, relayant l’Agence ABN:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab The Pope’s representative in Venezuela, Monsignor Giacinto Berlocco, said that Venezuelan Cardinal Rosalio Castillo Lara’s recent political statements do not reflect the position of the Catholic Church in Venezuela. Over the weekend, Cardinal Castillo met with opposition representatives and said afterwards that Venezuelans ought to deny recognition to the Chavez government because it is, ill-fated and dangerous. Cardinal Castillo said that the opposition ought to organize civil disobedience against the Chavez government, on the basis of article 350 of the Venezuelan constitution, which specifies that Venezuelans have the right to deny recognition to any government that acts contrary to democratic values, principles, and guarantees.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Papal Nuncio Giacinto Berlocco, said on Sunday, at the end of a mass, As a [Venezuelan] citizen, [Cardinal Castillo] has his reasons for acting this way, but he is not representing the Church as he has not officially received any task in this sense.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Nuncio Berlocco went on to say that in Venezuela the Catholic church is not aligned with any political party and that the Church and government ought to work together, as there are many points of agreement between the two, such as on the issue of attending to the needs of the poor. The Church is in favor of the people and I believe that there are many areas of agreement [with the government]. There is no need to put the relationship in terms of confrontation, said Berlocco.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb Relations between the government and the upper levels of the Catholic Church hierarchy have been tense ever since Chavez was first elected in 1998. High level Church officials have always been very critical of Chavez, partly for the reduction of public funds for private schools, which affected Catholic schools, and partly for ideological reasons. During the April 2002 coup attempt, the Catholic Church’s highest representative, Cardinal Ignacio Velasco was deeply involved in the coup and was the main person who tried to persuade Chavez to sign a resignation letter while rebelling military officers detained him.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
