Exiled Nicaraguan Prelate of Conciliar Sect Praises Antipope Leo XIV While Reducing Persecution to Naturalistic Political Struggle
The EWTN News portal (ACI Prensa) reports on an interview given by Silvio Báez, the exiled auxiliary “bishop” of Managua, to the Nicaraguan newspaper Confidencial. The article portrays Báez as a courageous voice against the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship, highlighting his exile since 2019, his biblical rhetoric comparing the regime to Pharaoh, his criticism of “negative silence” within the Church, and his expressed hope in “Pope Leo XIV,” whom he claims has “detailed knowledge” of Nicaragua and has approved monthly Zoom meetings of exiled priests. The piece concludes with Báez’s vision of a future Nicaragua built on “social justice,” “solidarity,” and “freedom” to think differently. This report exposes the thoroughgoing naturalism of the conciliar hierarchy: a pseudo-bishop of the neo-church collaborates with a Masonic-inspired media outlet to reduce the supernatural crisis of the Church and the temporal duty of the State to Christ the King into a banal struggle for “human rights” and “democracy,” all while recognizing the usurper Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ.
