Episcopalians supporting narco-terrorism

Soon after the U.S. special forces arrested accused narco-terrorist Nicolas Maduro, the Episcopal Public Policy Network sent out an e-mail asking people to call their congressional delegation in protest.

Episcopal Church Statement on U.S. Intervention in Venezuela

January 3, 2026

Office of Government Relations

The people of The Episcopal Church offer prayers for our beloved siblings in Christ in the Episcopal Diocese of Venezuela, and for people across the region following this morning’s U.S. military operation that removed President Nicolás Maduro.  

Episcopalians in Venezuela carry out vital ministries in increasingly challenging conditions, and we fear for their well-being and their church community if these military interventions, and any form of U.S. occupation, lead to more instability and violence. Episcopal Church Center staff have spoken with and offered support to the Rt. Rev. Cristobal León Lozano, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Ecuador Litoral and bishop provisional of Venezuela; the Rt. Rev. Lloyd Allen, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Honduras and president of Province IX; and to standing committee leadership.  

The Episcopal Church’s General Convention has long-standing policy that “condemn[s] in any nation the first use of armed force in the form of a preventive or pre-emptive strike that is aimed at disrupting a non-imminent, uncertain military threat.” Even as we recognize that intervention in sovereign states can sometimes be necessary to prevent atrocities, we discourage “the abuse of this norm to rationalize military actions in sovereign states for political ends.”   

We urge Congress to call for an investigation and accountability for this most recent unauthorized operation, as well as the related military actions carried out in recent months. We urge all regional parties to support a peaceful transition that respects the rule of law and the will of the Venezuelan people. Join us in praying for our siblings in the Diocese of Venezuela and the Venezuelan people.

Notice that they claim that the operation was not authorized.

I don't think that claim will hold up in court. 

I am not surprised that the Episcopal organization would seem to want the United States government  to sit on its hands and allow tons of illegal drugs to be shipped into our country. 

I am shocked at the lack of understanding on how these drugs are killing people.

What would you expect from a group of people who have walked away from God's Word in so many other ways?
