The Reformed Catholic Church of Venezuela (Anglican Rite) is a member jurisdiction of the Latin-American Anglican Church, as such it is not a member of the Anglican Communion nor the Roman Catholic Church. The jurisdiction was inaugurated in June of 2008 by Roman Catholics, Anglicans, and Lutherans. News reports claim church leadership has expressed support for some of the policies of President Hugo Chávez. [ [http://www.miamiherald.com/news/miami_dade/story/587067.html Chávez-linked church decried] - Miami Herald, Jun. 29, 2008]
Not surprisingly several high ranking prelates in the Roman Church have criticized the new jurisdiction for attempting to divide the larger Catholic Church, and asked Roman Catholics to avoid the church.

This church based in South America should not be confused with the Reformed Catholic Church based in the United States.
