The general secretary of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, specified that today, thanks to President Nicolás Maduro, the canonization of the saint of the poor, Dr. José Gregorio Hernández (JGH), was achieved.

“Who stood on their shoulders here the canonization of José Gregorio Hernández? Wasn't it Nicolas Maduro? Whatever they say,” said Cabello, recalling that the elevation to the altars of San José Gregorio Hernández was going to take place in April of last year, but the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy opposed it.

In addition, during his Con El Mazo Dando No. 548 program , he revealed that the same Ecclesiastical Hierarchy often hindered the canonization of the People's Saint. “They were the ones who sent letters to the Pope telling him that José Gregorio Hernández could not be a saint because he was used by witches, they even accused him of being homosexual as a reason why he should not be sanctified,” he revealed.

He pointed out that those papers and obstacles, as well as the names of those who signed them, will come to light one day.

He stressed that, despite this, “José Gregorio Hernández today is a saint by all the laws, he has his license as a saint, but José Gregorio Hernández has been the saint of the poor in Venezuela for years.”
