Vatican Receives 400+ Page Report Detailing Christian Persecution in Nicaragua

Vatican Receives 400+ Page Report Detailing Christian Persecution in Nicaragua


It lists 1,010 known attacks against the Nicaraguan Catholic Church by the Ortega regime, as well as confirming the prohibition of 16,564 Catholic processions and other religious events in Nicaragua by the communist government between April 2018, when the wave of peaceful anti-communist protests started, and July 2025. I am happy to know that my friend Muriel Sáenz has personally delivered to Pope Leo XIV the study “Nicaragua: A Persecuted Church,” which is an expression of the Catholic Church and the Nicaraguan people that reflects the persecution of bishops, priests, and laypeople by the Sandinista dictatorship. The communist regime’s persecution of Christianity in Nicaragua has led to the unjust imprisonment and banishment of dozens of members of the Nicaraguan Catholic Church and an increasing number of prohibitions against Catholic processions and autochthonous Christian festivities all over Nicaragua.
