REUTERS/StringerAug 18 - The superior general of the worldwide Jesuit religious order has condemned the closure of its university in Nicaragua as part of a government attempt to "suffocate" the Catholic Church and civic institutions in the Central American country.
"We know that all of the accusations against UCA are totally false and without any foundation whatsoever," Sosa wrote in the letter to Father Jose Domingo Cuesta, the order's regional superior for Central America. The government's action against UCA, other Catholic institutions and civic organisations, was aimed at "suffocating, closing or appropriating them", Sosa said.by President Daniel Ortega on Nicaragua's Catholic Church, whose leaders acted as mediators in the aftermath of the 2018 protests.
