NEW YORK – Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami has said Nicaragua's dictatorship has gone “off the rails” with the latest round of arrests of Catholic leaders in Nicaragua and the continued imprisonment of Bishop Rolando Álvarez of Matagalpa.
“It’s a deteriorating situation where the government is persecuting the church, and it’s hard to see what the end game of this is,” Wenski said of Nicaragua in a Jan. 2 television interview with WPLG Local 10 News, adding that “this is a dictatorship, to be sure, it’s also one that’s off the rails”.
