Let’s pray for the religious people in Nicaragua. Tension between the Nicaraguan government and the Catholic Church has been worsening during the last month. Nicaragua closed seven radio stations that belonged to the Catholic Church. An investigation was launched against the bishop of Matagalpa Msgr. Rolando Álvarez, accusing him of inciting violent actions of hate against the population. The Vatican permanent observer to the Organization of American States, Monsignor Juan Antonio Cruz expressed concern and asked both parties to seek ways to understand each other.
