Proof That Socialism is Godless

On Sunday, February 25, in Venezuela, many faithful were invited to make a spiritual communion only in several parishes in the State of Merida, in the northwest of the country.

The reason was purely material: flour has become a rare commodity. In an effort to remedy this shortage, the bishops have asked the faithful to bring all the flour they have left so that the nuns can use it to make hosts.

The most sought-after products in Venezuela are powdered milk, margarine, sugar, corn oil, cheese, peas, lentils, rice, wheat flower, bread, pasta, cornmeal, coffee, and mayonnaise. In this same State of Meruda, hosts and wine ran out in 2013, forcing many priests to buy supplies in Cucuta, a Columbian city on the border.
