I knew it. Damn this is distressing as a Catholic but I knew the Church leadership there was up to no good when antiMarxist Cardinal Jorge Urosa made his phony offer to mediate the election "standoff" between Maduro and Capriles. Standoff lol?! This is the guy who spent years screaming and warning the Vatican Venezuela was drifting toward dictatorship. Now he's taken to broadcasting on rightwing private media radio stations and being a real ass after his deal with the opposition was exposed.
