Venezuela, like Iran and Turkey, is under attack by the US. Then please explain to me WHY the USA is still by far...

But with the so-called "Continuing Anglican" movement, nowadays it may be the former, as socially conservative Anglican parishes look for an ecclesiastical home more in line with their beliefs.
