During the summer, many read about the plight of Nicaraguan Bishop Rolanda Alvarez.
Although less known than the trial of Cardinal Joseph Zen, the Communist persecution of Bishop Alvarez was no less serious.
In fact, the house arrest of Bishop Alvarez just became more serious with charges being filed and a trial set for January 10th.
Crazed thug Daniel Ortega has been on a paranoid downward spiral of late, targeting religious people and others in an attempt to shore up support.
His crazed antics even drew public criticism from long time ally and close personal friend Michael D Higgins, the Irish President.
With Cardinal Zen facing further intimidation from the Chinese Communist Party in the coming months, we need to remember that the red threat has not subsided from the globe and there are many Catholics who are daily persecuted by Communists.
