How can Venezuelan mothers feed their children?\u201d asked Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino, archbishop of Caracas, at a press conference in Caracas on 31 May organized by Aid to the Church in Need in partnership with the association Venezuela Little Venice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Cardinal denounced the plight of Venezuela, putting the blame on the government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cAlready in 2010 I said that the political Marxist totalitarian system that the current administration has imposed would lead to ruin our country and so it was,\u201d said Cardinal Savino. \u201cBankruptcy decisions of the government and especially the failed economic policies have meant that we were in these tragic conditions. And we cannot even hope in the opposition so that everyone who is opposed to the regime is imprisoned or exiled. \u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Cardinal noted how the situation has drastically fallen over the past four years, especially for children: \u201dIt is very painful to see children rummage through the garbage looking for food.\u201d According to Venezuela Little Venice, nearly 17 <\/span>per cent<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> of the nation\u2019s children <\/span>is<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> malnourished.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the current circumstances, the Venezuelan Church tries, even with limited resources, to meet the needs of the population. \u201cIn many parishes, the Church feeds Venezuelans through \u2018solidarity pots,\u2019\u201d the Cardinal said. \u201cOur priests and our religious are really the heroes alongside the poor of Venezuela.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bishop Oswaldo Azuaje P\u00e9rez of Trujillo, near the border with Colombia, said \u201cMy priests live the gospel with missionary spirit and experience the same conditions of the faithful. Even in the Diocese of Trujillo, the \u2018pots in solidarity\u2019 offered by parishes are needed to feed the population. In some areas, malnutrition is the cause of children\u2019s death\u2026In these crime and drug trafficking areas because of insecurity, a few days ago a priest was attacked.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prayer, information, and practical support are the three needs of the Venezuelan Church according to the two prelates. In recent days a delegation of Aid to the Church in Need travelled to Venezuela to develop its own new aid. In recent years the Papal Foundation has supported more projects responding to the significant increase in requests from the Latin American country.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>ACN International<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VENEZUELA Cardinal Savino highlights Government failure as the cause of the crisis &nbsp; \u2018A kilogram of milk powder costs more than the average monthly wage.
