An elderly Roman Catholic bishop was detained over the course of two days in Nicaragua as the nation’s government becomes increasingly adversarial toward Christians.
Juan Abelardo Mata Guevara, the bishop emeritus of the Diocese of Estelí, retired in 2020 but accepted an invitation to officiate a service on June 28, according to a report from International Christian Concern.
“During the service, he referred to religious persecution in Nicaragua in his prayers, mentioning recent cases of prominent religious leaders forced into exile or under house arrest,” the ministry said.
