Church leaders in Venezuela have rebuked a politician who, as a Socialist Party convention, transformed the Lord’s Prayer into an invocation of the spirit of the country’s deceased strongman, Hugo Chavez.

“Our Chavez who art in heaven,” began Maria Estella Uribe, going on to pray for an end to capitalism and oligarchy.

A quick response from the Church said that the words of the Lord’s Prayer should be recognized as “untouchable” because they come directly from Jesus. “He who recites this new and wrongful version of the Lord’s Prayer is committing the sin of idolatry,” the statement continued.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a disciple of Chavez, complained that the Church hierarchy was still pursuing a long conflict with the late rule. “They couldn’t get rid of Chávez while he was alive so now they want to persecute the people’s spiritual love for him,” he said.

This same statement does apply to the doctrines of the Church, as early as the giving of the Ten Commandments.
