ROME – With virtually no opposition leader left to imprison, the government of Nicaragua has moved on to its one remaining obstacle for securing reelection: The Church.
According to Rosario Murillo, the country’s vice president, the bishops and priests of the Catholic Church are the “sons of the devil” who supported the months-long civil uprising that began in April 2018 that left at least 320 dead, thousands wounded, tens of thousands exiled, and deepened the political, social and economic crises in the Central American Country.
“It was a diabolical interruption of a few weeks when they wanted to snatch everything from us to steal again, to settle there again, with blessings, which are truly unusual, unheard of blessings from people whose sanctity is in doubt, whose intermediation before the spiritual powers of Jesus Christ are completely in doubt,” said Murillo.
Murillo, who has been sanctioned by the United States, Canada and the European Union questioned: “how anyone can be a pastor if he blesses crimes, how can anyone be a pastor if he blesses and approves that people continue to die on the roadblocks, that people continue to lose everything they have, that women who are going to give birth are not allowed to pass in the ambulance?”
In her remarks, issued during the weekend as the government marked the 41st anniversary of the Nicaraguan Army, the vice president was cherry-picking incidents from the troubled months of 2018, when Catholic churches opened their doors to care for the civilians wounded during the protests who were refused treatment in public hospitals. Cathedrals also opened their doors as refuge to the thousands who were facing tanks deployed by the government to quiet down the protests.

Another “success” for Obama and Biden. Another betrayal of freedom by the Democrats.
Remember this in every election from now to Nov. 2024 and vote appropriately.
