About Roberto Lückert León

Lived 1939 – 2024 (aged 84). Roberto Lückert León was a Venezuelan catholic priest and catholic bishop.

Roberto Lückert León (9 December 1939 – 16 June 2024) was a Venezuelan Catholic archbishop. He became the first Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Coro in the state of Falcón beginning on 23 November 1998. He was the second Vice-President of the Episcopal Conference of Venezuela. He was also described as a fervent defender of Venezuelan democracy. At the age of 18, he entered the minor seminary in his hometown and spent a year there.

Communication and media Lückert was known as a "born communicator". He was president of the episcopate's media commission, and of the communication department of the Episcopal Conference of Latin America (Celam). He had been suffering respiratory problems, severe enough to warrant a tracheotomy. A statement issued by the Venezuelan Catholic episcopate said that the prelate's legacy would live on in the causes that he defended with courage: the poor, democracy and the faith.
