CARACAS (Reuters) - Late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez may have had a hand in Christ's decision to opt for a Latin American pope, acting President Nicolas Maduro said on Wednesday.

"We know that our commander ascended to the heights and is face-to-face with Christ," Maduro said at a Caracas book fair. "Something influenced the choice of a South American pope, someone new arrived at Christ's side and said to him: 'Well, it seems to us South America's time has come.'"

Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was elected in a surprise choice to be the new leader of the Roman Catholic Church on Wednesday, the first non-European pope in nearly 1,300 years.

It’s the Holy Spirit’s job not Jesus’ to pick the Pope!

The Cardinals disagree.

They said it is their job to pick the Pope.

Nope, the Cardinals have always said that it is the Holy Spirit who guides their choice.

Yes, guides their choice

They stated that that is so, but it is them that vote for the Pope.

It was on a thread earlier today when it was being discussed.

I heard a priest say that it was Holy Spirit that chose the Pope, and the Cardinal’s job to match that choice.

Chavez is in Hell. He never met Christ.

How could a baptized Catholic, a member of the body of Christ, a member of the Bride of Jesus be in hell???

He did it the old fashioned way, he earned it.

"I er uh, hey, Hugo! I heard you influenced the election of the new Pope! You're uh, you're quite the influential guy!" [demons laugh]

Chavez: "You really are a dumb puta, you know that, Ted?"

If Generalissimo Chavez had his way Mao Tse Tung would have appeared on the balcony last night.

PLEASE, it was GOD, the God of the Holy Bible, the Holy Spirit who made the choice of Francis I.

When you commit to a made up religion I suppose you can make up stuff like this. You know, like the “saints” are the ones who they think have more influence to “get things done”. I’m also wondering how Chavez got out of purgatory so quickly?

Then why didn't He tilt things towards the Venezuelan Cardinal, Urosa?

I wonder if they were unanimous or if that is a requirement.

Really....

Didn't he take communion, too?

That's what we're told it takes.

Funny how just last week we heard that Chavez died in the bosom of the Catholic Church, being given a funeral mass presided over by a cardinal, and this week Catholics are saying that he's in Hell, unforgiven.

I have no direct knowledge of anybody being in hell specifically by name, but here’s what the great John Chrysostom said relating to that concept:

Revelation 8:3-4
Another angel with a golden censer came and stood at the altar; he was given a great quantity of incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar that is before the throne.

And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel.

Hmm. Interesting. You were told, "by whom"?

1 Corinthians 11:27
Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be answerable for the Body and Blood of the Lord.
