U.S. Military Aggression in Venezuela Exposes Bankruptcy of Modernist “Church” Silence
Catholic News Agency reports on U.S. military strikes in Caracas culminating in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on January 3, 2026. The article details President Trump’s announcement, opposition leader María Corina Machado’s celebratory statement calling this “the hour of freedom,” and Latin American leaders’ condemnation of U.S. actions. Venezuelan bishops are described as “praying” and in “constant communication” while the conciliar “Episcopal Conference” president Archbishop Jesús González de Zárate offers generic remarks about monitoring events. EWTN News shares a syncretistic prayer invoking Our Lady of Coromoto that omits reference to Christ’s social reign. The piece exemplifies the neo-church’s surrender to secular geopolitics while abdicating its duty to proclaim Pax Christi in Regno Christi (the Peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ).
