The priest surprised his parishioners with a message of hope and mercy for the Nicaraguan people, who mainly asked for the release of all opponents unjustly imprisoned by the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship.
Citing the magisterium of peace written by Pope John Paul II, which requires four essential conditions: truth, justice, love and freedom, the Catholic leader stressed that “there will be no peace on earth while the oppression of peoples, the injustices and economic imbalances.
“That Nicaragua is not a geopolitical problem where we put the dead and the powers sell us the weapons,” he said.
Dictatorships always fall
In addition, the Costa Rican bishop stressed that violence does not resolve conflicts, nor does it diminish its effect because “violence only generates more violence.”
Paraphrasing another writing by Saint John Paul II, the religious questioned that “ideologies ended badly, they do not serve, they do not assume the people, that is why look at the last century, how did ideologies end? always in dictatorships, there is no peace without justice, there is no justice without forgiveness».
Therefore, he reiterated that the human person must be respected. «The human being must come before ideology, the human being is created by God in his image and likeness, the human being is inviolable, untouchable, because he is a child of God, whatever is done to a being human is done to God and you have to see God face to face, it is not moral, how few are getting richer and many are getting poorer, “he said.
Monsignor Manuel Salazar assured that dictatorships, empires always fall, alluding to the Ortega-Murillo administration that has screwed itself to power.
«Rulers remember the dinosaurs also disappeared, it is not with the dictatorship of some over others how human problems are solved, everything passes, nothing is forever, in this life all empires fall, where is the Persian empire? (…) Where are the Russian monarchs? everything happens nothing is forever, all the powerful pass, only love given remains, only love wins, only love liberates, virgin of Los Angeles we are at your feet loving mother and powerful mother we beg you for a miracle for Nicaragua, “he concluded .
