Monsignor Álvarez: “They are investigating me for I don't know what.  They will make their guesses»

Monsignor Rolando Alvarezbishop of the diocese of Matagalpa, made it clear that there are no reasons why the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo initiate an alleged investigation of him and prevent him from leaving the episcopal curia.

«Yesterday that police statement came out in which, basically, we have read two things: First, that I am being investigated, I don’t know what, but they will be making their own guesses. Second, that they have formally said that we have a house for a prison, “said the bishop.

The statements were made during the Eucharist celebrated at noon this Saturday, August 6, from the episcopal curia of Matagalpa where he is being held, along with twelve members of the religious community.

“We are reunited and retained, and we are always with inner strength, peace in our hearts and the joy that the Risen One gives us,” added the also apostolic administrator of Estelí.

The religious leader invited the congregation to continue in prayer and not fear. “Fear paralyzes, self-burying despair, and hate is the death of the heart. Hate is answered with love », he told them.

The message arrives on the religious festival of the Transfiguration of the Lord, an occasion on which he recalled that “the power of God will never end because it is an eternal power and His kingdom will never be destroyed.” “This is the proclamation that we make as a Church on this feast. The temporal powers of this world always pass, they all pass, only God is eternal,” the bishop added in his homily broadcast on social networks.

«It is the Church, certainly, that passes through the cross. We are aware by the grace of the Divine Spirit that the Church must pass, inexorably, indispensably, through the cross; but, we also profess that this cross is the one that leads to the Resurrection », she added.

Monsignor thanked the signs of solidarity and closeness expressed by the bishops, religious and laity of Nicaragua and the region, including the Episcopal Council of Latin America and the Caribbean (CELAM). He asked them to continue praying and to remain attentive to them.

The Police, at the service of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, began a supposed “investigation” process against Monsignor Rolando Alvarez, after the prelate went out to the streets to pray with the Blessed Sacrament in his hands, before the police siege. The repressive institution accuses him of inciting hatred to “destabilize” the regime.
