Daniel Ortega, the Socialist dictator degenerate ruler of Nicaragua, has escalated his war on the Catholic faith.
After shutting down a Catholic radio station, sending troops to raid a church and jailing several priests, the regime has now brutally stopped a local bishop from saying Mass, under armed guards.
Bishop Rolando Alvarez of Matagalpa and six priests were prevented from entering their church on the Feast of Saint John Vianney, with images of the bishop shocking the world.
The bishop was placed under house arrest and has continued to livestream in defiance of the perverted Ortega.
A video from inside showed them singing hymns.
The bishop blessed those police who were holding the church hostage and said:
The gates of Hell shall not prevail against the Church, we might endure crises, moments of pain, suffering, affliction, darkness, valleys of tears, yes! But the Church has never been defeated by the powers of Hell, she has never been annihilated because, even though we, sinners, are part of it, the Church is supernatural
Meanwhile, outspoken Irish President Michael D Higgins, continues his public silence on the behaviour of his old friend.
Higgins, who speaks on countless issues, has been conspicuous by his silence over Ortega’s attacks on the church.
This is despite Ortega staying as a guest of Michael D Higgins at his home in the 1980s.
As one would expect, the Irish media are choosing to ignore the story, as it betrays two of their main principles, one is to never talk ill off Michael D Higgins and the other is to never acknowledge the persecutions of Catholics across the world.
Higgins recently made headlines around the world for his comments about climate change in Nigeria after Catholics were massacred by Muslims on Pentecost Sunday.
The newspapers that covered the story did not do a much better job than the Irish media did, the Washington Post and a few others chose to show Ortega smiling politely with a female Muslim police officer, mentioning the opposition of the Roman Catholic Church to the government.
