About this sermon
More than 200 political prisoners from Nicaragua are now in the US. The group includes several Catholic priests and seminarians who were deported by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega. They were accused of threatening Nicaragua's national security and the Ortega dictatorship. Meanwhile, Bishop Rolando Alvarez, who called for free elections in the country, was sentenced to 26 years in prison. He refused to leave for the United States with the rest of the prisoners. A Nicaraguan judge called the prisoners who were recently deported to the US "traitors." Washington DC based staff writer for the National Catholic Register, Lauretta Brown, joins to discuss whether this is accurate and what she can tell us about these people. Bishop Alvarez has been a pretty outspoken opponent to the Ortega regime. Brown tells us more about him. He was supposed to board the airplane with the rest of the prisoners last weekend, Brown explains what happened. Brown fills us in on what else she is following.
