The Venezuelan Episcopal Conference (CEV) insists on its calls for dialogue to solve the deep crisis in the country and advance in the sociopolitical restoration.
“We continue to affirm today that the essential attitude to advance in our country is the opening of dialogue and it is necessary to prepare and implement the corresponding country project designed by all sectors,” said the president of the CEV, Monsignor Jesús González de Zárate, according to Union Radio.
The prelate’s statements were issued this Saturday, January 7, during the beginning of the CXICX Ordinary Plenary Assembly of the CEV. Until January 12, when there is expected to be a pastoral exhortation, the bishops will reflect on the national panorama and the challenges of the Church for 2023.
“We meet to share our life and mission and reflect on the being and the work of the Church that pilgrims in Venezuela and on the people we are called to serve,” said Monsignor González De Zárate, according to a CEV press release.
He stressed that the country’s bishops, with the support of priests, men and women religious and lay people, “have continued to serve our people through evangelizing action. We have made the option of ‘being a people’, of being close to the people, of not abandoning the people”.
