Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Catholic Church in Venezuela is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope, curia in Rome and the Venezuelan Bishops Conference. According to one source, there are around twenty million Catholics representing around 75% of the total. According to the CIA Factbook, 2009, 96% of the population is Catholic. There are 34 dioceses including 8 archdioceses, plus separate jurisdictions for those of the Melkite and Syrian rites. Unlike the military, the Roman Catholic Church has not been a major political force in Venezuelan politics. The church has never been as prominent in Venezuelan as it has in neighboring Colombia.
