With all that black gold, you'd think they could buy enough wine and wafers for the mass. So much for that Socialist paradise.

Why do they call it a "food shortage" and not a famine?

Is it just a problem of inept government, or is it a problem of wheat not
growing? They say the "shortage" cannot be overcome because of the
government interference, but they don't say what is causing the shortage.

What "raw materials" are lacking? Sunshine? Water? Seeds? Soil?
Venezuela seems to have plenty of oil, so tractors should have fuel.

Caracas, Venezuela, May 16, 2013 / 12:16 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Reporter Macky Arenas of the Catholic Lay Report said the serious food shortage in Venezuela could lead to a lack of wine and hosts for the celebration of Mass.

Arenas explained that the shortage in the country is due to “the lack of raw materials.”

“This is not a country known for the production of wine, and the only national company has told the bishops it will not be able to meet demand,” she said in statements to CNA.

Officials in Venezuela are warning that the situation will not improve in the short term, she added.

The liturgy committee of the Venezuelan Bishops’ Conference issued a statement warning that Vino Ecclesia, the company that supplies wine for Eucharistic celebrations, has said it cannot guarantee continuous production and regular distribution because of the lack of supplies needed to make its product.

The committee also said importers are having trouble obtaining foreign currency to bring in liturgical wine made in other countries.

“If it is impossible to obtain wine for Mass certified by other bishops’ conferences, the purest and most natural wine possible should be used instead,” the committee instructed.

The food shortage has become so great that President Nicolas Maduro spoke about it during a visit to Uruguay last week.

Arenas noted that in their statement, the bishops “are not even questioning anyone; they are just simply pointing out a problem and getting in front of the consequences by proposing alternatives.”

She predicted that there will also be “a shortage of wheat for hosts” in the future.

The problem, she contended, is largely due to “the corruption that reigns in the government administration.”

“This is setting the stage for an explosive situation in Venezuela,” she warned.

Apparently the food shortage that has become "so great that President
Nicolas Maduro spoke about it during a visit to Uruguay" has not become
so great that the media would call it a "famine."

"...and there shall be pestilences and famines and earthquakes in places..."
(Matt. xxiv. 7).

The media might not want to upset anyone, that's all.

It's understandable how someone who has not been catechized would attempt to find any Pope look a like that they could.

Do you accept your Pope???

"But I do suspect that the inner circle of the elite who hold this information from us at ransom do not want you to realize this." ~James

James,

It seems you have given these "elite" power over you that they had not

had before. Your hoax is a hoax. Priestcraft is a fiction, James. With what

object or personal advantage would a world-wide body of "elite" seek to impose

themselves upon a people and keep them in intellectual, political and social

subjection other than the love of money ???

In separating morality from religion you may have inadvertently separated

your self-realization from reality. We are all on an equal footing down here.

Ed does not profess the Christian Religion. But he has my respect none the less.

He did the art work on the two blockbuster best sellers JFK, and The Killing of a President, at 15 years of age. He is an expert in his field..

You would do well to listen to Ed and consider what he has been saying.

The problem is an inept government.

Amid Venezuela’s growing scarcities, not even the Roman Catholic Church has received a dispensation.

According to church officials, shortages and restrictions are causing a lack of crucial ingredients needed to celebrate Mass: altar wine as well as wheat to produce communion wafers.

National church officials are currently asking churches to ration their wine and wafers “during this emergency,” Reuters reports.

“We only have enough for two months,” said Archbishop Roberto Luckert, a spokesman for the Venezuelan Episcopal Conference.

They are talking about rationing communion in Venezuela?

Shortages of wine and hosts made from wheat flour in Venezuela may lead Church officials to ration their use at Mass.

Shortages of widely used items, from milk to sugar to toilet paper, have become widespread in the socialist nation.

“On top of losing hours in order to buy four rolls of [toilet] paper, now we won't even be able to receive Communion as God commands,” a housewife told the Associated Press. "It’s unbelievable."

“We only have enough [wine] for two months,” said Archbishop Roberto Lückert León of Coro. With Venezuela’s sole supplier of altar wine unable to maintain adequate production, priests are now permitted to use more expensive imported wines, the Reuters news agency reported.

“The costs [of imports] would be very high because we don't have access to dollars,” said Archbishop Lückert.
