I had a mixed opinion of Chavez politically. His style was very different to what I am used to, but hey - a character is a good thing!
Ultimately, I liked/admired his great character and resolution, as well as his clear love of Venezuela and its people. I also liked how he wasnt afraid to tell the Americans what he thought of them lol.

RIP Hugo.
And may your family and the people of Venezuela remember you with love and fondness, till you meet again.
Some people may call his actions, late in life, cowardice or fear - but a lot of people need something really serious to happen, before they can genuinely focus and "think about their soul".

Quote:Hugo Chavez died 'in the bosom of the Church
Caracas, Venezuela, Mar 6, 2013 / 12:01 pm (CNA).- A source in Venezuela has revealed to CNA that President Hugo Chavez died “in bosom of the Church” and received spiritual direction and the sacraments in his last days.
In announcing Chavez’s death to the nation on March 5, Vice President Nicolas Maduro said the Venezuelan leader died “clinging to Christ.” The source in Venezuela told CNA that during the last weeks of his life, Chavez requested spiritual direction and asked to receive the sacraments.
Quote:Chavez occasionally took part in the religious services of distinct denominations, but he surprised the press in April 2012 when he showed up at a Catholic church in his hometown of Barinas to attend Holy Week services. He wore a rosary around his neck and prayed for strength to fight his illness. Last July, Chavez made public his request to meet with the Catholic bishops
