Reply #16: I know that you mean the church, not the people. [View All]

No need to explain. It's all good. (I am a practicing Roman Catholic, and I don't believe that you would think I'm loathe to giving up my power, influence or profits. And I'm probably somebody who is much more likely to listen to the Catholic establishment than many of the other posters here. So, for the sake of this discussion, let's say that I totally agree with your statement above. Do you truly believe that this is all about objecting to the gay rights being provided within the constitutional ammendment? I am not convinced, but of course that's because this is the first that I've heard of that. Or is it all because the don't want to lose their "stranglehold" on the people in Venezuela. Chavez's power will take away from their power?
