%X Este artigo se debru a sobre a complexa rela  o do governo Ch¨¢vez com a Igreja cat¨®lica e com o movimento evang¨¦lico. O governo Ch¨¢vez tem repetidamente se confrontado com a hierarquia da Igreja cat¨®lica na medida em que tem buscado desestabilizar as institui  es existentes, incluindo a Igreja. Em contraste, ele atra¨ªdo o movimento evang¨¦lico no processo de estabelecer alian as com novos atores sociais e pol¨ªticos. No entanto as rea  es de padres cat¨®licos e pastores evang¨¦licos t¨ºm variado. Padres, que n o t¨ºm tido conex o com a hierarquia e trabalham com os membros dos setores populares, tendem a apoiar o governo Ch¨¢vez. De forma similar, os pastores neopentecostais, que aderem a "Teologia do Dom¨ªnio," e que n o t¨ºm uma conex o com o principal grupo evang¨¦lico que lidera movimento evang¨¦lico, apoiam Ch¨¢vez. This article looks at the complex relationship of the Chavez government, the Catholic Church and the Evangelical movement. The Ch¨¢vez government has repeatedly clashed with the Catholic hierarchy as it has sought to overturn existing institutions, including the Church. In contrast, it has reached out to the Evangelical movement in the process of establishing alliances with new social and political actors. Nevertheless, the responses of Catholic priests and Evangelical pastors have varied. Priests who do not have a connection with the hierarchy and work with members of the popular sectors tend to support the Ch¨¢vez government. Similarly, pastors that adhere to neo-Pentecostal "dominion theology" and do not have a connection with the main Evangelical umbrella group support Ch¨¢vez.
