Message from Regina Lynch

And, of course, we must not forget Latin America, where much resentment is being sown against the Church, despite its prominent role in society in the field of education, health and social teaching of the Church. We are especially concerned about Nicaragua, where dozens of priests have been arrested over the past year. Recently, the vast majority have been released, but one bishop remains in prison and another was arrested only a few days ago. Where will it all end? Only God knows.
