Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, president of Venezuela. \/ Credit: Venezuelan Presidential Press<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

Caracas, Venezuela, Oct 22, 2025 \/ 17:34 pm (CNA).<\/p>\n

Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, president of Venezuela, accused Cardinal Baltazar Porras of conspiring to prevent the canonization of Venezuela\u2019s first male saint, Jos\u00e9 Gregorio Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were many people who conspired from the highest [levels of the] Curia against Jos\u00e9 Gregorio,\u201d Maduro said on an Oct. 20 television program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome priests, like Baltazar Porras, dedicated their lives to conspiring against Jos\u00e9 Gregorio Hern\u00e1ndez. I say this by name: Baltazar Porras dedicated his entire life to ensuring that Jos\u00e9 Gregorio would not [be declared a saint], but Baltazar Porras has been defeated by God, by the people, and today Jos\u00e9 Gregorio is a saint despite you [Porras] and your people,\u201d said the president, who did not attend the canonization ceremony at the Vatican.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 19, along with Venezuelan nun Carmen Rendiles and five others, Hern\u00e1ndez, known as the \u201cdoctor of the poor,\u201d was canonized<\/a> by Pope Leo XIV.<\/p>\n

Those close to Porras told ACI Prensa, CNA\u2019s Spanish-language news partner, that the cardinal will not respond to Maduro\u2019s accusations.<\/p>\n

Maduro holds the leadership of Venezuela\u2019s government but is accused, nationally and internationally, of committing fraud<\/a> in the 2024 presidential election, in which he was allegedly reelected for a third six-year term.<\/p>\n

The controversial Venezuelan leader is facing accusations of drug trafficking and terrorism by the U.S. government, which accuses him of heading a criminal organization known as the Cartel de los Soles.<\/p>\n

In addition, the U.S. State Department has offered a $50 million reward <\/a>\u201cfor information leading to the arrest or conviction\u201d of the socialist leader. It is the largest reward offered for the capture of a criminal in the history of the United States.<\/p>\n

Maduro\u2019s verbal attack on the archbishop emeritus of Caracas is part of a long history of abuses and threats by the socialist government against the Catholic Church in Venezuela<\/a>, a practice that appears to be intensifying with the canonization of the country\u2019s first two saints.<\/p>\n

The socialist leader\u2019s reaction comes after Porras called last week for the release of all political prisoners in Venezuela, who currently number more than 800, according to the organization Foro Penal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live in a morally unacceptable situation; the decline in the exercise of civil liberties, the growth of poverty, militarization as a form of government that incites violence and introduces it as part of daily life, corruption and the lack of autonomy of public institutions, and the disrespect for the will of the people create a panorama that does not contribute to peaceful coexistence or to overcoming the structural shortcomings of society,\u201d Porras said at an event held at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome.<\/p>\n

At the same event, Venezuelan Vatican journalist Edgar Beltr\u00e1n was assaulted<\/a> by businessman Ricardo Cisneros, a member of the Venezuelan government delegation.<\/p>\n

During the event, Beltr\u00e1n\u2019s interview with the Vatican\u2019s substitute for the Secretariat of State, Archbishop Edgar Robinson Pe\u00f1a Parra, was forcibly interrupted by Cisneros after the prelate was asked about the Maduro government\u2019s \u201capparent politicization\u201d of the canonizations, according to Catholic news outlet The Pillar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin offered a Mass of thanksgiving on Oct. 20 for the canonization of the first two Venezuelan saints, during which he also denounced<\/a> the existence of \u201cunjust imprisonment\u201d and \u201coppression\u201d in the country.<\/p>\n

Shortly before the canonization Mass on Oct. 19, Porras expressed his \u201cdeep joy\u201d<\/a> and described the event as a \u201chistoric moment\u201d for all of Venezuela.<\/p>\n

\u201cI give thanks to God for allowing me to share it with all of you,\u201d the archbishop emeritus said at the time.<\/p>\n
