Ortega’s Nicaragua: Silencing the Church Under the Guise of Secular Oppression
EWTN News reports on Open Doors’ 2026 World Watch List ranking Nicaragua 32nd among countries persecuting Christians, detailing Daniel Ortega’s regime confiscating 43 Church properties, banning 18,808 processions, and exiling four Catholic bishops. The article frames this persecution through secular human rights language while omitting the fundamental theological crisis: the systematic eradication of Christ’s Social Kingship.
