About this sermon
In Nicaragua, the Ortega regime is sentencing 11 Protestant leaders to 12 to 15 years in prison and levying an $880 million fine. The 11 ministry leaders with Puerta de la Montaña, an off-shoot of a Church in Texas, were convicted of money laundering after holding successful evangelistic events across Nicaragua. 4 US Senators, Rick Scott, Ted Cruz, Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville, have asked the Biden Administration to "implement strong, targeted sanctions following the repeated and escalating violations of religious freedoms in Nicaragua." Cofounder of the Global Liberty Alliance, Jason Poblete, joins to share his reaction to this latest crackdown in Nicaragua. Poblete discusses the prominence of the Protestant Church in Nicaragua and its relationship to the government. Poblete talks to us about how the Protestant Church can be weaponized against the Catholic Church. Reports say this Church group had Ortega's blessing to operate. Poblete tells us why the quick turn on them. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
