.- Bishop Mario del Valle Moronta Rodriguez, Bishop of San Cristóbal, has announced that, “at this moment, a level of prudence and rapprochement has been reached,” in Venezuela between the Church and government.
Bishop Moronta said, in comments to Aid to the Church in need, that the “strengthening the dialogue between all social and political” groups, the “search for and elaboration of a common model of the country,” and the “deepening of social justice” are major point of focus in the negotiations.
The bishop also put a strong emphasis on the need to, “carry out the new evangelization in order to renew our country morally and spiritually.”
When asked about the impressive number of vocations to the priesthood from his diocese, Bishop Moronta attributed it to the continuous prayer of each of his parishes, in addition to the “simple and - at the same time - profound faith of our people.”
Venezuelan bishop says government, Church relations are improving
