CWN Editor's Note: An August 24 editorial in the Washington Post decries the Nicaraguan government’s “major escalation of repression,” made evident in the arrest of Bishop Rolando Alvarez last week.
“Thus far, the Vatican has looked to avoid confrontation,” the editorial observes. But it concludes: “Speaking truth to power that way might not be enough to end repression in Nicaragua by itself. But there can’t be progress without it.”
