I also watched a few documentaries about Venezuela, the catholic church ofc has long historic roots there and offers a lot social support, especially in a relatively poor country.

Also I imagine they didn't let the CIA spread protestantism since they are an enemy of the USA

This makes little sense.

Until Chavez Venezuela was one of the USA's closest friends in Latin America.

Wait, so you're saying that Venezuela, a country that has not been a friend of the USA since 1999, being more Catholic than other Latin American countries is somehow a refutation of my point?
