<p>Roman Catholic leaders in Venezuela are calling for President Hugo Chavez to give up special legislative powers granted to him by his congressional allies.</p>
<p>The Venezuelan Bishops&#8217; Conference condemned a package of laws approved last month by the National Assembly, including one that grants Mr Chavez power to enact laws by decree for the next 18 months.</p>
<p>Mr Chavez gained those powers shortly before a new congress took office with more opposition politicians.</p>
<p>A statement from the bishops accuses Mr Chavez of trying to impose a totalitarian system in Venezuela.</p>
<p>Mr Chavez and the bishops have feuded for years. Chavez has accused the Catholic leadership of neglecting the poor and of siding with his opponents and the rich.</p>
