Anti-Catholic sentiment from the Venezuelan government is growing.
At the end of January 2017, supporters of President Nicolás Maduro — an armed gang known as the colectivos — took over San Pedro Claver Church in Caracas during Mass and forced those present to listen to a rant excoriating the Catholic Church.

Jesús Torrealba, the secretary general of Venezuela's opposition party, condemned the colectivos, who support the socialist government currently in power, and their aggression at the church. Torrealba tweeted, "The violent government supporters closed the door, prevented the parishioners from leaving, and forced them to listen to a political speech. The violent colectivos offended the Venezuelan Episcopal Conference and social leaders in the area in their speech."
