Faced with the worsening social and political situation in Nicaragua, and following the expulsion from the country of more than 220 opponents of President Daniel Ortega's regime and the sentencing of Bishop Rolando Álvarez to more than 26 years in prison, several episcopates from around the world have reacted with concern for, and solidarity with, the citizens and the Catholic Church in that country.
“In faith we are comforted by the words of the Gospel: ‘Blessed are those who are persecuted because they live according to God's plan, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’,” writes Archbishop Cabrejos, who is also Archbishop of Trujillo and president of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference.
Calling the process “unjust, arbitrary, and disproportionate,” the bishops of Chile said, “We deplore and reject the situation experienced by Bishop Álvarez and the Church in Nicaragua, which violates human rights, the essential dignity of the person and religious freedom.
The Spanish Catholic hierarchy asked “all Catholics and all people of good will to pray for the peaceful resolution of this conflict and for an active commitment to peace, which has its indisputable foundation in justice.” They also called on the civil authorities to listen to the voice of the people and to release those still imprisoned for political reasons.
