¿Es lo mismo cantar una canción religiosa que una pieza musical sacra? ¿Qué relación existe entre la Música y la liturgia? Estas cuestiones que, en la actualidad, se encuentran en alza son la espina central del dossier que publicará la revista omnes en su próximo número impreso y del cual se ha hablado en diferentes ocasiones en nuestra web. Uno de estos ejemplos lo encontramos en el artículo que firma Hector Devesa sobre este tema en el que subraya cómo La música y el canto contribuyen eficazmente a este sentido de memorial porque tienen la cualidad de expresar ese deseo interior. Esta cualidad comunicativa de la música va más allá de la mera presentación de una idea con más o menos belleza; convoca los sentimientos que acompañan aquello que se dice. San Agustín consideraba que la música ha sido concedida por Dios a los hombres para modular rectamente el recuerdo de cosas grandes. Este es por tanto uno de los principales motivos por los que la Liturgia canta. El artículo, se centra en las particularidades de la música litúrgica que, como destaca el autor “contribuye muy favorablemente a elevar el espíritu porque forma parte de la celebración en la que toda la capacidad expresiva del hombre está al servicio de la gran obra de Dios en el memorial de sus misterios”. Puedes leer el artículo Cantaré al Señor: sentido y razón de la música en la liturgia en nuestra web. El prefecto del Dicasterio para la Doctrina de la Fe, Victor Manuel Fernandez, ha asegurado que la investigación preliminar sobre el caso del exjesuita Marko Rupnik ha finalizado y que se está constituyendo un tribunal independiente para avanzar hacia la fase judicial. Rupnik, sacerdote esloveno conocido por su labor como artista, enfrenta múltiples acusaciones de abuso espiritual, psicológico y sexual, así como abuso de conciencia hacia mujeres religiosas bajo su dirección. A pesar de su expulsión de la orden jesuita en junio de 2023 por desobediencia a sus superiores, Rupnik continúa ejerciendo como sacerdote incardinado en la diócesis eslovena de Korper. En el primer gran evento del Jubileo de 2025 en Roma, el Papa Francisco recordó su conocida “cultura del encuentro” a miles de profesionales de comunicación de todo el mundo en el Aula Pablo VI. El Papa no leyó el mensaje que tenía preparado para los comunicadores y dedicó casi todo el tiempo a saludar a los asistentes. Este jubileo de los comunicadores es el primer gran evento de los más de 35 que marcarán el Año Santo. A seis décadas de la clausura del Concilio Vaticano II, su legado sigue marcando la vida de la Iglesia y sus desafíos en el siglo XXI. Frente a voces que piden una revisión o incluso un nuevo concilio, es momento de reflexionar sobre la aplicación de sus enseñanzas y su vigencia en la evangelización y la vida cristiana actual. Esto es lo que realiza el sacerdote e historiador José Carlos Martín de la Hoz en un artículo de Omnes, que ya pueden leer en nuestra página web. Un simposio internacional celebrado esta semana en Viena ha reevaluado los acontecimientos de Constantinopla del cisma del año 1054, que marcaron la separación entre las iglesias de Oriente y Occidente. En cualquier caso, hablar del «cisma» del 1054 está superado o refutado. El Patriarca Ecuménico Bartolomé subrayó el deber de «proseguir con todas nuestras fuerzas los esfuerzos agradables a Cristo para superar la división y lograr la anhelada unidad». Para superar la separación, el primer paso debe ser que la Iglesia católica y la ortodoxa se reconozcan mutuamente como Iglesias. A esto debe seguir el segundo paso, a saber, la reanudación de la comunión, dijo el cardenal Kurt Koch, quien también participó en el simposio. El Prelado del Opus Dei, Fernando Ocáriz, ha publicado una carta dirigida a los fieles de la Obra en la que subraya la importancia de la oración por la paz mundial y detalla el progreso en la reforma de los Estatutos de la institución, cuya conclusión prevé dentro de este año. También destaca el próximo Congreso General ordinario, programado para finales de abril y principios de mayo, como una oportunidad clave para reflexionar sobre la vida y misión de la Obra. El obispo Rolando Álvarez de Matagalpa, firme líder de la Iglesia nicaragüense, concedió su primera entrevista desde su exilio en el Vaticano en enero de 2024. A la pregunta de cómo pueden resistir los fieles ante tanta persecución, el obispo citó la exhortación del Papa Francisco a los fieles a que «miremos a la Virgen Inmaculada», patrona de Nicaragua. Monseñor Álvarez también aconsejó a los jóvenes «ser valientes» como San José y emular su «valentía y confianza en la Providencia». Monseñor Erik Varden, monje cisterciense y presidente de la Conferencia Episcopal Escandinava, ha concedido una entrevista a Omnes. Conocido por su agudo análisis de la actualidad, monseñor Varden mira al mundo con esperanza y es capaz de ver en los acontecimientos que nos rodean signos de que Dios sigue cuidando de cada persona y de que el Espíritu Santo guía a la Iglesia. En la conversación, Varden analiza los conceptos de inclusión, diversidad y equidad, los cuales aplica a la Iglesia poniendo como ejemplo los monasterios.

El número de fallecidos por eutanasia aumenta año tras año, a un ritmo que se sitúa entre el 10 y 15 por ciento, en los primeros países que le dieron soporte legal, a los que se ha sumado España desde 2021. En Países Bajos, las muertes por eutanasia son ya el 5,4 por ciento del total, y en Bélgica, en torno al 4 por ciento. En Omnes realizamos un análisis de estas cifras, dando una visión global de esta “pendiente resbaladiza”. El santuario de Torreciudad, en el pirineo aragonés español, se prepara para el 50 aniversario de su apertura. Lo hace tras consolidarse en 2024 como uno de los destinos más destacados de Aragón, pues recibió más de 180.000 visitantes, de los cuales aproximadamente el 84 % eran españoles. A pesar de esto, las cifras de visita han bajado con respecto al 2023. Nuestros lectores podrán encontrar un análisis de los datos publicados por el santuario en el artículo publicado en nuestra página web.

El 7 de agosto el Papa Francisco retomó las audiencias generales tras el descanso estival. Ha comenzado una nueva fase del ciclo de catequesis, esta vez centrado “en la obra de la Redención, es decir, en Jesucristo”. “Perdona nuestras ofensas, concédenos tu paz” es el lema elegido por el Papa Francisco para la Jornada Mundial de la Paz de 2025. El Dicasterio para el Servicio del Desarrollo Humano Integral ha explicado que este título “corresponde a la comprensión bíblica y eclesial del Año Jubilar”. La Fundación CARF,que nació en 1989 con la misión de promover las vocaciones al sacerdocio, ha publicado su memoria referente al ejercicio 2023. Durante ese año, la institución ayudó a más de mil alumnos, aportando casi seis millones de euros para ayudar en su formación a varones de todo el mundo. Scholas Ocurrentes anunció el lanzamiento de su programa en Indonesia junto al Ministerio de Educación, Cultura, Investigación y Tecnología del país. El proyecto reunirá a 200 estudiantes que compartirán sus ansias y aspiraciones. Continúa la persecución religiosa en Nicaragua. En los últimos días el gobierno del país ha secuestrado a 13 sacerdotes, entre ellos el rector del seminario Mayor de Matagalpa. Además de los sacerdotes, los fieles católicos denuncian que hay laicos secuestrados también y piden ayuda y oraciones para hacer frente a la persecución. El Presidente de la Pontificia Academia para la Vida, el arzobispo Paglia, se reunió con el Papa Francisco para entregarle un ejemplar del controvertido “Pequeño léxico del final de la vida”, una guía sobre algunas cuestiones bioéticas. Ante las dudas que habían suscitado algunos puntos, por la aparente apertura en cuestiones como la eutanasia, el presidente de la Academia aseguró en una entrevista que “la Iglesia reitera su total oposición a cualquier forma de eutanasia y suicidio asistido”.

Productores lácteos del norte y del centro de Nicaragua temen que el cierre de la planta Prolacsa, en Matagalpa, continúe bajando el precio de la leche, tal como sucedió cuando la empresa mexicana, Lala, vendió sus acciones y salió del país en octubre de 2023. En menos de cuatro meses, dos multinacionales se retiraron del sector lácteo nicaragüense, sembrando dudas sobre la viabilidad del sector, y de qué tan recomendable puede ser invertir en un país como Nicaragua, donde nadie está a salvo de ser víctima de una confiscación.

After serving nearly a year of his 26 year sentence for treason in a Nicaraguan jail, Bishop Rolando Álvarez of Matagalpa was flown to Rome in January. The high profile bishop known as an outspoken critic of President Ortega's Sandinista government has been under house arrest since August 2022. He was allowed to leave the country alongside his supporter Bishop Isidoro Mora and a group of priests and seminarians, after a request from the Vatican. It's the latest development in a relationship between Nicaragua and the Holy See that has grown increasingly tense. President Ortega has had a complicated relationship with Nicaragua's Catholic clergy ever since he first came to power in the 1979 revolution. It was with the help of the Church that Daniel Ortega returned to power in 2006, but as his rule became increasingly more authoritarian he steadily repressed any sort of opposition, including critical voices from within the clergy. Mass peaceful protests over social security reforms in 2018 ramped up the repression from the Ortega government in the following years. Opposition leaders, journalists, and prominent leaders from within the R.C.Church were amongst those expelled or advised to leave the country and some like Bishop Álvarez were even imprisoned. The situation has left the Catholic Church in a difficult position. There are no diplomatic ties now between Nicaragua and the Holy See and since the end of the Cold War it appears that the international community has found more pressing concerns. Nicaragua's Catholic neighbours may have the country on their radars, but how willing they are in supporting the Pope over his concerns for Nicaragua's Catholic population remains to be seen.

Nestlé, la multinacional suiza, anunció en un comunicado su decisión de cerrar sus operaciones de producción de leche en Nicaragua y trasladarla “a otras fábricas de la compañía en América Latina”. El cierre de operaciones de Prolacsa S.A. ubicadas en la ciudad de Matagalpa, representa el segundo golpe para la industria láctea nicaragüense en tres meses, luego que el 27 de octubre de 2023, se conociera que Lala S.A., había decidido vender sus acciones y salir del país.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The dictatorship of Daniel Ortega on Sunday released and sent to the Vatican two imprisoned Nicaraguan bishops along with 15 priests and seminarians. Nicaraguan media outlets La Prensa and Confidencial first reported on the release, indicating that among those released was Bishop Rolando Álvarez of Matagalpa and Bishop Isidoro Mora of Siuna. Auxiliary Bishop Silvio José Báez of Managua, exiled due to persecution by the Ortega dictatorship, confirmed the news of the release of the bishops, priests, and seminarians in tears: “Our pastors are free.” The released clerics arrived in Rome on Sunday afternoon and were welcomed as "guests of the Holy See," according to Vatican News. In August 2022, Bishop Álvarez of Matagalpa, a well-known defender of human rights and critic of the Ortega regime, was forced to remain in his official residence along with several priests, seminarians, and a layman. Two weeks later, having almost run out of food, the Nicaraguan police broke into the house, kidnapped Álvarez, and took him to Managua, the country's capital, where he was placed under house arrest. On February 10, 2023, the dictatorship proceeded to sentence the bishop of Matagalpa to more than 26 years in prison, accusing him of being a “traitor to the homeland.” Since then, he has been held in the prison known as “La Modelo,” where political prisoners of the regime are held. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/256540/nicaraguan-dictatorship-releases-bishop-alvarez-brother-bishop-and-priests After a year of renewed attacks on churches and religious centers, the US bishops said in a new report released today that attacks on houses of worship constitute the “largest threat to religious liberty in 2024” and could threaten “the very lives of people of faith.” The report said that while the committee “was founded in response to increasing legal threats to the free exercise of religion,” the bishops felt “compelled to decry foreseeable threats to the very lives of people of faith here in the United States.” According to the bishops' report, “recent years have seen an alarming rate of vandalism, arson, and other property destruction at Catholic sites.” All this is compounded with, the bishops said, a “general failure” on the part of the “federal government to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators of such attacks.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/256532/religious-americans-lives-possibly-at-risk-in-2024-new-report-by-us-bishops-says Pope Francis appeared on Italy's most popular prime-time talk show on Sunday night where the pontiff shared how he hopes that hell is “empty.” Three million people in Italy tuned in to watch the nearly hourlong television interview with Pope Francis on January 14 in which the pope responded to resistance to the recent Vatican declaration on same-sex blessings, previewed prospective papal trips to Polynesia and Argentina, and spoke of his fear of nuclear armageddon. The 87-year-old pope began his appearance on the television show “Che Tempo Che Fa” by joking that he is “still alive” and has no plans to resign. When asked by the interviewer, Fabio Fazio, how he “imagines hell,” Pope Francis gave a short response. “What I am going to say is not a dogma of faith but my own personal view: I like to think of hell as empty; I hope it is,” Pope Francis said. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/256542/pope-francis-i-like-to-think-of-hell-as-empty Today, the Church celebrates Pope Saint Marcellus, who became Pope at the end of the persecutions of Diocletian in aound 308-309. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-marcellus-pope-118

Bianca Jagger, the president and chief executive of the Bianca Jagger Human Rights Foundation, joins Dr Gavin Ashenden to discuss the atrocious treatment of Bishop Rolando Álvarez of Matagalpa by the regime of President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua. In this 65th episode of Merely Catholic, the podcast series for the Catholic Herald, Ms Jagger reports disturbing new information about the deteriorating condition of the “prophetic” bishop since he was jailed in February for 26 years after he refused to go into exile in the United States, and about the “real, dangerous and serious” persecution of the Catholic Church in the land of her birth.

La Conferencia Española de Religiosos otorgó el Premio Carisma en la categoría de Misión y Cooperación Internacional al obispo de Matagalpa y actual reo de conciencia de la dictadura nicaragüense, monseñor Rolando Álvarez. El reconocimiento coincide con el cumpleaños 57 de monseñor Álvarez este lunes, quien fue el único de los diez premiados que estuvo ausente en la gala de premiación celebrada en Madrid, España.  Monseñor Álvarez  permanece recluido y aislado en la cárcel La Modelo desde el 9 de febrero de 2023, castigado y condenado por la dictadura por negarse al exilio. 

El Ministerio de Educación  junto con la Policía Nacional se tomaron las instalaciones del Instituto San Francisco de Asís, ubicado en Matagalpa, confirmaron a CONFIDENCIAL varios padres de familia que tienen a sus hijos en ese centro. “Sacaron de clases a los chavalos y les dijeron que les avisaban cuando retomaban clases. No les dieron mayor explicación. Pero a los maestros los llamaron a reunión”, denuncian los padres de familia, quienes también señalaron que las autoridades del Mined “se llevaron las computadoras del instituto”. La toma del instituto ocurrió horas después de que el Ministerio de Gobernación canceló la personería jurídica de la Compañía Orden de los Frailes Menores Franciscanos de la Provincia Seráfica de Asís en Nicaragua, que administraba el instituto. Esta orden religiosa tiene unos 58 años de existir en el país.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The president of Catholic Relief Services (CRS) this week said he was hoping for a quick reopening of border access to Gaza and deployment of aid to stricken civilians in the war-torn area. CRS on Wednesday repeated its call for “an end to all violence and immediate humanitarian access to Gaza,” with the group and partner aid workers “mobilized and standing ready to meet the immediate needs of displaced families.” CRS president and CEO Sean Callahan told CNA on Thursday that the group was waiting for aid access to the embattled region. There are about 3,000 tons of supplies in humanitarian aid awaiting entry to Gaza from the Egyptian side of the border, according to the UN. Israel agreed to the aid being transferred to the Palestinian people as long as it goes only to civilians and not Hamas. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255755/catholic-relief-president-on-aid-to-gaza-let-s-get-it-going-take-care-of-these-people Three Catholic nuns, a seminarian, and their driver who were abducted from Nigeria's Abakaliki Diocese on October 5 have been released. Vicar General Sister Gloria Nnabuchi of the Missionary Daughters of Mater Ecclesiae said a ransom of 1 million Naira, or 1,305 US dollars, had been paid for their release. The five were on their way to a burial in Nigeria's Imo State when they came in contact with their abductors. Nigeria has been experiencing insecurity since 2009 when Boko Haram insurgency began with the aim of turning the country into an Islamic state. Since then, the group, one of largest Islamist groups in Africa, has been orchestrating indiscriminate terrorist attacks on various targets, including religious and political groups as well as civilians. The insecurity situation in the country has further been complicated by the involvement of the predominantly Muslim Fulani herdsmen. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255748/religious-congregation-grateful-after-release-of-abducted-nuns-seminarian-in-nigeria The Nicaraguan dictatorship reported that it has released 12 priests it had imprisoned and sent them to the Vatican after an agreement was reached with the authorities of the Catholic Church. Bishop Rolando Álvarez of the Diocese of Matagalpa was not among those released. Álvarez was sentenced on February 10 to 26 years and four months in prison. A day before the sentence, the prelate refused to be part of the group of 222 deportees who were sent to the United States and who were then stripped of their nationality and property in Nicaragua by the oppressive dictatorship of Daniel Ortega. The Ortega regime announced that the release of the 12 priests took place “after fruitful conversations with the Holy See.” The priests, the release said, are headed to the Vatican and “traveled to Rome, Italy, this afternoon.” The Vatican did not confirm whether the Holy See was involved in arranging for the release of the priests. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255740/government-of-nicaragua-claims-that-it-freed-12-priests-after-an-agreement-with-the-vatican Today the Church celebrates Saint Irene, a Portuguese nun who was martyred in defense of her chastity in the year 653. Saint Irene's body was miraculously recovered after being thrown into the river. She was canonized in part because of the great amount of miracles that occured at her tomb. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-irene-26 The Church also honors Saint Bertilla Boscardin, a sister and nurse who cared for Italian soldiers during World War One. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-bertilla-boscardin-630

El régimen de Daniel Ortega y Rosario Murillo desterró al Vaticano a doce sacerdotes que mantenía como presos políticos, “luego de sostener fructíferas conversaciones con la Santa Sede”, informó la dictadura a través de un comunicado publicado este miércoles 18 de octubre.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - A Catholic priest reputed for rescuing homeless and impoverished children on the streets of Omaha, Nebraska, is expected to soon be declared Venerable by the Vatican, placing him on the path to canonization. Father Edward J Flanagan, who died in 1948, was an Irish-born priest whose saintly life has been narrated in a recent documentary, “Heart of a Servant — the Father Flanagan Story.” In a follow-up interview after the film's premiere on July 26 in Sligo, Ireland, Bishop Kevin Doran of Elphin, Ireland, told CNA that there is a good reason to hope that Flanagan will soon be declared Venerable by the Vatican. Reflecting on the life of the heroic Catholic priest, Doran told CNA that Flanagan “rescued children from homelessness and poverty in Omaha and provided a place for them that they could call home.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255370/irish-born-founder-of-boys-town-father-flanagan-may-soon-be-declared-venerable Three pro-life activists who took part in an October 2022 “rescue” in a Washington, DC, abortion facility were each found guilty of felonies that could land them up to 11 years in prison and fines as much as $350,000. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255394/three-more-pro-lifers-guilty-on-face-act-charges-face-up-to-11-years-in-prison A Catholic priest in China was convicted of “fraud” and “impersonating religious personnel” on September 13. Father Joseph Yang Xiaoming of the Wenzhou Diocese in Zhejiang, China — south of Shanghai — was found to be in violation of the law after he refused to register with the state-sanctioned Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255391/chinese-priest-convicted-of-fraud-for-refusal-to-recognize-state-sanctioned-church A Christian legal group has filed a petition with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on behalf of Nicaraguan Bishop Rolando Álvarez, who is serving a prison sentence under the regime of President Daniel Ortega for criticizing the dictatorship's human rights violations. Álvarez, the bishop of Matagalpa, began serving a 26-year, four-month prison term in February, charged with being a “traitor to the homeland.” The regime's police trapped him in his chancery for more than two weeks in August 2022 and entered by force in the middle of the night to take him to Managua and hold him under house arrest. Álvarez later refused to leave the country with 222 other political prisoners who were being deported by the dictatorship to the United States, including four priests, a deacon, and two seminarians. ADF International announced the filing of its petition September 14, saying there are “no effective avenues for legal recourse available in Nicaragua” under Ortega, who has effectively ruled the country as a dictator for years. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/255390/legal-group-pleads-for-imprisoned-bishop-alvarezs-rights-before-human-rights-commission Today, the Church celebrates Saint Joseph of Cupertino, a mystic who was perhaps most famous for his ability to fly. Despite being moved from one friary to another, because of the disruption he caused by his ecstasies and the persecutions he endured from some of his brothers who were envious of his gifts, he remained profoundly inundated by the joy of abandoning himself to Divine Providence. He died on September 18, 1663 and was canonized in 1767 by Pope Clement XIII. He is the patron of air travelers and students preparing for exams. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-joseph-of-cupertino-598

En esta edición de La Tertulia conversamos sobre el fracaso de las negociaciones entre Vaticano, Gobierno y Conferencia Episcopal para lograr la liberación del obispo de Matagalpa, Rolando Álvarez, que se rehúsa al destierro. Álvarez había sido excarcelado de la cárcel La Modelo a inicios de esta semana, pero fue regresado a su celda de máxima seguridad la mañana del 5 de julio, al no alcanzarse un acuerdo para lograr su liberación definitiva. Además, conversamos sobre la reforma de Ortega a la Constitución y Ley de la Policía Nacional para frenar el aumento de deserciones policiales que dañan “la moral” de la institución. También hablamos sobre otros temas como: - La “desdolarización” de la economía de Nicaragua promovida por la dictadura. - Ortega y Murillo ordenan marchas en toda Nicaragua. - Régimen consigue más financiamiento para atender daños por huracanes Eta e Iota.

Sin embargo, el Obispo no aceptó los términos impuestos para su destierro. Lea la noticia completa en nuestro sitio web: confidencial.digital

La subcomisionada María de Jesús Gutiérrez, jefa de bloque en Matagalpa, y Gabriela Rayo, testigo en el juicio en contra del Obispo de esa ciudad, monseñor Rolando Álvarez, son las últimas deserciones más notables del sandinismo, en ambos casos a través del programa de Parole humanitario de Estados Unidos.

En esta edición de La Tertulia conversamos sobre las condiciones de aislamiento y tortura en las que ha permanedico encarcelado por más de 100 días monseñor Rolando Álvarez. El obispo de la Diócesis de Matagalpa se encuentra recluido en las celdas de “El Infiernillo” en la cárcel La Modelo, un lugar insalubre, sombrío y completamente opuesto al salón amueblado, con cortinas blancas y pequeñas palmeras, donde el religioso fue exhibido por la dictadura de Daniel Ortega el 25 marzo pasado. Además, analizamos la entrada en vigencia del ‘Acuerdo de Cosecha Temprana' entre Nicaragua y China, que ayudó a reforzar el esquema de corrupción imperante en el Mercado Oriental, que CONFIDENCIAL denunció en 2012. También hablamos sobre otros temas como: - Las recientes detenciones en contra de religiosos.- El riesgo de sequía prolongada que amenaza a Nicaragua. - La nueva norma de inmigración en el estado de Florida, Estados Unidos.

La Policía confirmó la captura del sacerdote Jaime Montecinos, párroco de la iglesia Juan Pablo II del municipio de Sébaco, en Matagalpa. Según la Policía, Montecinos fue detenido la noche del martes 23 de mayo en el municipio de San José de los Remates en el departamento de Boaco, en supuesta “actitud sospechosa, en estado de ebriedad y en compañía de una joven”, pero no mencionó si este estaba cometiendo algún delito.

El obispo auxiliar de Managua en el exilio, monseñor Silvio José Báez, exigió la “liberación inmediata” de su homólogo de la diócesis de Matagalpa, monseñor Rolando Álvarez, de quien dijo está siendo “ultrajado” dentro de la cárcel donde lo mantiene encerrado la dictadura de Daniel Ortega y Rosario Murillo.

La Iglesia Católica en Estados Unidos reprochó este jueves la "persecución" de Daniel Ortega contra la libertad religiosa en Nicaragua y pidió al Gobierno estadounidense interceder por la liberación del obispo de Matagalpa, monseñor Rolando Álvarez.   El presidente de la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de Estados Unidos, David Malloy, exhortó al Gobierno de EE.UU. y a la comunidad internacional, a trabajar por la liberación de Álvarez y “la restauración de la paz y el imperio de la ley en Nicaragua”. 

El papa Francisco comparó al régimen sandinista de Nicaragua con una “dictadura comunista o hitleriana”, a la vez que elogió al obispo de Matagalpa, monseñor Rolando Álvarez, preso de conciencia del régimen de Daniel Ortega. En una entrevista con el medio argentino Infobae por sus diez años de papado, el sumo pontífice se refirió por primera vez en términos fuertes sobre la situación en Nicaragua, una postura que muchos sectores nicaragüenses han demandado al santo padre.

Beginning March 14, adoration will take place every second Tuesday from 8-9 pm on the parvise in front of the Vatican basilica leading to St. Peter's Square. The March 14 adoration will be led by Cardinal Mauro Gambetti who is the archpriest of Saint Peter's Basilica. The prayer will be offered for Pope Francis in light of his 10th anniversary as pope. Saint Peter's Basilica is typically open every day from 7 am to 6:30 pm in the winter or 7 pm in the summer. The Eucharist is also exposed in Saint Peter's Basilica for adoration in the Chapel of the Most Blessed Sacrament from approximately 9 am to 4:45 pm Monday through Saturday. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253828/vatican-basilica-to-hold-monthly-eucharistic-adoration-on-portico In a new blow to the Church in Nicaragua, the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega has ordered the legal status of several institutions to be revoked, including that of John Paul II Catholic University. The reason given for the decision was “noncompliance” with the obligations of the universities “according to the laws that regulate them.” The cancellation affects the students and campuses of the John Paul II Catholic University in Managua, Juigalpa Chontales, Matagalpa, and Granada, as well as UCAN and its locations in León, Chinandega, Estelí, Juigalpa Chontales, Masaya, and Matagalpa. The university responded by saying that "the Lord is the master of our history, and that in the most adverse moments He has supported us and will continue to do so." https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253829/dictatorship-in-nicaragua-dissolves-john-paul-ii-catholic-university Daniel Ortega has also dissolved Caritas Nicaragua and Caritas Jinotega, aid organizations of the Catholic Church that assist those most in need in the Central American country. Caritas Jinotega provided food for the country's poorest people, donations of crutches and prostheses, delivered medicines at low cost, among many other charitable works. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253831/ortega-dictatorship-dissolves-caritas-nicaragua-catholic The Vatican held a hearing Thursday to try three climate activists for criminal damage to a famous statue in the Vatican Museums. Guido Viero, 61, and Ester Goffi, 26, were ordered to appear before the Vatican City State's tribunal on March 9. Viero and Goffi superglued their hands to the marble base holding Laocoön and His Sons, an ancient marble sculpture on display in the Vatican Museums, on the morning of August 18, 2022. They are accused of damaging the base of the statue through the use of “particularly tough and corrosive synthetic adhesive.” The three are part of Ultima Generazione (“Last Generation”), an Italian group that encourages nonviolent civil disobedience to “raise the alarm on the climate emergency.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253824/vatican-takes-climate-activists-to-trial-for-damage-to-base-of-famous-statue-in-vatican-museums Today, the Church celebrates Saint Aurea, a young 11th century Spanish woman who lived a life of sacrifice in a convent before dying in her late 20s. The Church also celebrates Saint Sophronius, a courageous leader of the Jerusalem Church during the Islamic conquests of the seventh century, who is more commonly venerated among Eastern Catholics and within the Eastern Orthodox churches. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/calendar/2022-3-11

El general en retiro, Humberto Ortega Saavedra, ex jefe del Ejército de Nicaragua, y hermano de Daniel Ortega, dijo que el obispo de Matagalpa, monseñor Rolando Álvarez, condenado por la dictadura, no debería estar preso. Las declaraciones de Humberto Ortega son parte una entrevista que le ofreció al prestigioso periodista, Andrés Oppenheimer, y que será transmitida completa el próximo domingo 19 de febrero por la cadena CNN en Español. En los adelantos de la entrevista, el general en retiro advierte que la condena de 26 años de cárcel contra el obispo Álvarez, fue una decisión precipitada en venganza por no aceptar el destierro. La última vez que se conoció públicamente de un encuentro entre los hermanos Ortega, fue el primero de enero de 2023, cuando el régimen admitió a través de una nota de prensa, la visita de Daniel Ortega a su hermano el 23 de diciembre de 2022, alegando supuestos motivos familiares, pero no políticos. La última vez que Humberto criticó en público a Daniel fue tras la muerte del combatiente histórico sandinista y preso político, Hugo Torres, fallecido bajo custodia policial en febrero de 2022 en El Chipote.

Fuentes vinculadas a la Iglesia católica revelaron a CONFIDENCIAL, que desde el jueves de la semana pasada Monseñor Rolando Álvarez, obispo de Matagalpa, está encerrado en “El infiernillo”, una celda de máxima seguridad en la cárcel La Modelo.

Speaking from the window of the Apostolic Palace, Pope Francis described how he was moved by the images of pain and suffering from the catastrophe that he saw on television and urged people to “pray and think of what we can do for them.” The pope spoke as rescue efforts continued over the weekend with rescuers pulling more than a dozen survivors out of the rubble on Saturday. Catholic charities are working to respond to the disaster by providing shelter, food, and other humanitarian aid. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253621/pope-francis-urges-support-for-earthquake-victims-in-turkey-and-syria Pope Francis entrusted Nicaragua to the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary on Sunday after Bishop Rolando Álvarez was sentenced to 26 years in prison by Daniel Ortega's dictatorship. “The news from Nicaragua has grieved me a great deal, and I cannot but remember with concern Bishop Rolando Álvarez of Matagalpa, whom I care about deeply,” the pope said on February 12. Speaking at the end of his Angelus address, Pope Francis said that he was also praying for the 222 Nicaraguan political prisoners who were deported to the United States and “for all those who are suffering in that dear nation.” Bishop Álvarez, an outspoken critic of Ortega's regime, was charged with being a “traitor of the homeland” on February 10. Ortega's government has in recent years detained, imprisoned, and likely tortured numerous Catholic leaders, including at least one bishop and several priests. His government has also taken action to repress Catholic radio and television stations, and driven Catholic religious orders, including the Missionaries of Charity, from the country. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253622/pope-francis-asks-virgin-mary-to-intercede-for-nicaragua-after-bishop-sentenced-to-26-years-in-prison Today, the Church celebrates Saint Catherine de Ricci. Born to an ancient Tuscan family, she received the religious veil in the convent of Dominicanesses at Prat, in Tuscany in the year 1535 at fourteen years of age. She experienced the sufferings of Christ's passion for about two years. Her reputation for extraordinary sanctity and prudence drew her many visits from a great number of bishops, princes, and cardinals. She was canonized in 1746. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-catherine-de-ricci-146

Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Speaking to priests, religious sisters, and missionaries living in Kazakhstan, where Catholics make up less than 1% of the population, Pope Francis on Thursday said that God's power is made manifest when “we acknowledge our littleness.” “The Gospel says that being little, poor in spirit, is a blessing, a beatitude, and indeed the first of the beatitudes,” Pope Francis said in Nur-Sultan's Cathedral of Our Lady Of Perpetual Help on September 15. Kazakhstan is a majority-Muslim country home to an ethnically diverse minority of Catholics — an estimated 125,000 out of the Central Asian country's population of 19 million. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252297/pope-francis-tells-kazakhstan-s-small-catholic-community-being-little-is-a-blessing Discussing on the flight from Kazakhstan to Italy on Thursday the moral degradation of the West, particularly concerning the advance of legal euthanasia, Pope Francis said the region has taken the wrong path and that killing should be left “to the animals.” Pressed on the problem of euthanasia, Pope Francis said: “To kill is not human, period. If you kill — with motivation yes — in the end you will kill more. It's not human. Let's leave killing to the animals.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252304/pope-francis-the-west-has-taken-the-wrong-paths By a broad majority, members of the European Parliament on Thursday condemned the escalating repression against the Catholic Church and others in Nicaragua. The resolution, passed September 15, criticized the arbitrary “arrest of Bishop Rolando Álvarez” of Matagalpa and called “for his and others' immediate and unconditional release and the annulment of all legal proceedings against them.” Pope Francis on Thursday called for dialogue, saying: “There have been talks with the government; there is dialogue. That doesn't mean you approve of everything the government does or you disapprove of everything. It does not. There is dialogue and there is a need to solve problems.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252307/european-parliament-condemns-growing-repression-of-catholic-church-in-nicaragua-calls-for-release-of-bishop Today, the Church celebrates Saints Cornelius and Cyprian, martyrs. Saint Cornelius was elected Pope in 251 during the persecutions of the Emperor Decius. Cornelius decreed that apostates must be welcomed back and insisted that they perform an adequate penance. In 253 Cornelius was exiled by the emperor Gallus and died of the hardships he endured in exile. Saint Cyprian of Carthage is second in importance only to the great Saint Augustine as a figure and Father of the African church. He was a close friend of Pope Cornelius, and supported him both against the anti-pope Novatian and in his views concerning the re-admittance of apostates into the Church. He was martyred during the persecutions of the emperor Valerian. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-cornelius-pope-martyr-and-st-cyprian-bishop-martyr-596

Her responsibilities included: marketing, sustainability certification process, human resources, long-term planning, and itinerary management. Karen's experience in the public and private sectors makes her an excellent advocate for the Cayuga County CVB's role in marketing and product development in the tourism industry. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Karen Kuhl, Executive Director for the Cayuga County CVB. Karen shares the programs her destination is currently working on and how their offerings are evolving as they dive deeper into how the internationally known abolitionist Harriet Tubman lived and worked in the region. Karen's team is also making a significant impact in DEI in the rural community and championing and supporting economic development as much as possible. What You Will Learn in this Episode: Where in the world Karen has worked, and what brought her back to the US An overview of Cayuga County, where it sits, and what it offers The importance of Harriet Tubman to Cayuga County and Auburn and how the CVB is using the significance of this historical figure to stand out from the crowd Why it's critical to build a solid foundation of DEI Their Harriet Tubman initiatives and how they are evolving How Cayuga County is promoting and elevating Black-owned businesses in their community The challenges and obstacles Karen has worked through and creative solutions that have helped her team navigate them An Important Legacy Karen describes how her destination, the Cayuga County CVB, draws visitors in through their connection to the internationally famous American Abolitionist, Harriet Tubman, and how they use that link to elevate and support economic development in the region. We discuss how Karen and her team live Harriet Tubman's legacy in Auburn by ensuring that the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusivity were built into the DNA of their organization. An Evolving Story The visitor experience in Auburn is a thriving story that continues evolving as the CVB finds out more and more about the businesses that were in town while Harriet Tubman would have engaged with them. Karen has also made a concerted effort to identify the broader individual Harriet Tubman was and uncover the human connection that so beautifully reveals all the facets of her character from the conductor of the Underground Railroad to a military leader, spy, nurse, and forger. We discuss why it's important as a destination marketer to appreciate all facets of why visitors might want to connect with a historical character and how CVBs can form partnerships that help them dig through the data to paint a fuller picture. Authenticity and Purpose Karen shares how her organization works with local businesses and community leaders to share their message, including putting together a grant to support the promotion of events around the Harriet Tubman bicentennial year in 2022.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - A team of archaeologists uncovered new evidence this month about location of the house of Saint Peter. While excavating a fifth-sixth century Byzantine basilica at the el Araj archaeological site located on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in Israel, the team discovered a large Greek mosaic that seems to bolster the theory that the church was built over the home of Saints Peter and Andrew. The mosaic is inscribed with a petition that asks for the intercession of Saint Peter, who is referred to as “the chief and commander of the heavenly apostles.” The next excavation will take place in October. The team will complete the cleaning of the church, and hopes to uncover more inscriptions. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252110/st-peter-s-house-believed-found-shore-sea-of-galilee Patriarch Kirill of Moscow will not attend an interreligious summit in Kazakhstan in September, where it was hoped he would meet with Pope Francis to discuss a peaceful resolution to the six-month-long war in Ukraine. Pope Francis will travel to Kazakhstan for the VII Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in the city of Nur-Sultan on September 13th to 15th. There had been speculation that the two religious leaders — who met in Havana, Cuba, in 2016 — might meet in person, possibly in Jerusalem, to discuss Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which Kirill has publicly supported. The Vatican has said it stands ready to mediate peace talks between the two countries. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252118/patriarch-kirill-will-not-meet-pope-francis-in-kazakhstan Less than a week after abducting the bishop of Matagalpa and apostolic administrator of Estelí, Rolando Álvarez, the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua has silenced another Catholic radio station. Radio Stereo Fe of the Diocese of Estelí lamented August 24 on Facebook that “almost 28 years of radio evangelization on FM have ended today.” The reason used by the telecommunications regulatory agency of the Ortega dictatorship “is that the radio station is functioning with the license in the name of Father Francisco Valdivia,” a deceased priest, “and that the new director doesn't have any permission.” The closure of the radio station took place just one day after the priests of the Diocese of Estelí released a statement calling on the authorities of the dictatorial regime of Ortega to convert, to allow them to work in peace, and to release Álvarez. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252114/daniel-ortega-regime-shuts-down-another-catholic-radio-station-in-nicaragua Shortly after Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma denied clemency to death row inmate James Coddington on Wednesday, the Archbishop of Oklahoma City encouraged the state not to resort to the death penalty. Archbishop Paul Coakley urged prayer for an end to the death penalty and “that our leaders may have the wisdom and compassion to recognize the humanity in every person, regardless of their state in life.” The Diocese of Tulsa plans to hold a prayer vigil outside the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252113/oklahoma-city-archbishop-disappointed-by-denial-of-clemency-to-death-row-inmate Today, the Church celebrates Saint Louis. As the king of France, his biographers have written of the long hours he spent in prayer, fasting, and penance, without the knowledge of his people. King Louis was renowned for his charity. Beggars were fed from his table, he washed their feet, ministered to the wants of the lepers, and daily fed over one hundred poor. Saint Louis was also a patron of architecture.

Según Álvaro Leiva Sánchez, presidente de la Asociación Nicaragüense para la Defensa de los Derechos Humanos, la situación judicial del obispo Álvarez no estaría exenta de abusos, una situación que demuestra una vez más la fuerte represión del gobierno de Daniel Ortega contra todo aquel contrario a su régimen. El obispo de Matagalpa, Rolando Álvarez, crítico del régimen del presidente nicaragüense Daniel Ortega, fue detenido por la policía en el último episodio del enfrentamiento entre la Iglesia católica y el gobierno. La policía irrumpió en la curia de esa ciudad del norte del país, donde Álvarez permanecía sitiado desde hacía dos semanas, y lo trasladó a Managua. La detención del religioso según testimonios recogidos por medios locales fue violenta. En un primer instante, las fuerzas policiales no precisaron el lugar de la detención, lo que preocupó a toda la comunidad internacional de defensa de derechos humanos.  Desde el exilio, Álvaro Leiva Sánchez, presidente de la Asociación Nicaragüense para la Defensa de los Derechos Humanos comentó a RFI que el obispo se encontraba detenido en el domicilio de sus padres, sin antes dejar de remarcar que esta detención es considerada como un “secuestro policial”. “El resto de los sacerdotes que fueron secuestrados se encuentran en las cárceles preventivas del chipote, bajo la posibilidad de tortura amenaza e interrogatorios permanentes”, anuncio el especialista, quien desde que se inició esta amenaza policial, sigue muy de cerca el desarrollo de este caso. La policía declaró que tomó la decisión de trasladar a Álvarez de la curia a Managua debido a que persistía en sus actividades “desestabilizadoras y provocadoras”. Ante este hecho diversas arquidiócesis religiosas en América Latina manifestaron su solidaridad con el obispo y pidieron que las autoridades nicaragüenses revisen de forma consciente este caso.   ¿Qué le espera al obispo? Ante las fuertes represiones judiciales que afrontan aquellos adversos al gobierno de Daniel Ortega, la situación del obispo no se augura alentadora. Según Leiva Sánchez, el obispo Alvares estaría sujeto a dos posibles escenarios: “la expulsión de Nicaragua o simplemente enfrentar un proceso ilegal”. El especialista en derechos humanos agregó que el gobierno buscará argumentos para descalificarlo e iniciar un proceso judicial que no tendría ningún sustento legal. “Con esta detención Ortega sigue demostrando una conducta de hostilidad hacia la iglesia católica, a los derechos humanos y a los derechos constitucionales de los nicaragüenses. No tiene una voluntad política de mejorar los derechos de la población, como es su libertad religiosa”. La captura de Álvarez, precedido por el arresto de tres sacerdotes, se suma a una larga historia de 43 años de desencuentros entre la Iglesia católica nicaragüense y los sandinistas encabezados por el dictador Daniel Ortega. El régimen de Managua ha lanzado fuertes calificativos contra los obispos nicaragüenses hasta el punto de llamarlos “terroristas”. Y solo porque actuaron como mediadores de un diálogo nacional en busca de una salida pacífica a la crisisni que vive Nicaragua desde abril de 2018.

En Nicaragua, un obispo y un grupo de sacerdotes y feligreses llevan una semana sitiados por la policía en la curia de Matagalpa, en el norte del país. Las autoridades acusan al obispo Rolando Álvarez de desestabilizar al Estado y de organizar grupos violentos. Las asociaciones de defensa de derechos humanos han enviado misivas al Vaticano para que intervenga en lo que denuncian ser un atentado a las libertades religiosas. “Nos encontramos bien de salud", indicó el obispo Rolando Álvarez durante una misa transmitida por Facebook este jueves. Él y al menos otras 12 personas, incluidos cinco sacerdotes, llevan más de una semana retenidos por la policía en su curia, por haber denunciado el cierre de unas emisoras de radio religiosas. Como varios organismos humanitarios, la Asociación Nicaragüense Pro Derechos Humanos están pendientes de lo que pueda pasarle. “Son situaciones de asedio, represalias, hostigamiento, secuestro hacia las personas y el grupo que acompaña a sacerdotes y laicos como organismos de derechos humanos”, explica Álvaro Leyva, secretario general de la Asociación Nicaragüense Pro Derechos Humanos.  “El pasado 25 de julio hicimos llegar una carta a su Santidad el papa Francisco con un informe detallándole toda una serie de acontecimientos donde el régimen queda en evidencia por esa violación al derecho humano de la libertad religiosa para su intervención y su pronunciamiento sobre este caos, persecución, asedio, represalias, secuestro que está haciendo en contra de la iglesia católica nicaragüense”, dice a RFI. Leyva explica que la relación entre el gobierno de Ortega y la Iglesia católica se rompió en 2018, cuando ésta intentó mediar en la crisis social y política y resguardó a manifestantes heridos, aunque ya había tensiones anteriores. Leyva apunta que los representantes de la Iglesia “nunca han estado en armonía ni en sintonía frente a lo que ha venido promoviendo el régimen Ortega-Murillo; siempre ha habido una distancia porque definitivamente el régimen no es coherente entre lo que dice y lo que practica”. “Los pastores de la iglesia católica simplemente han señalado esa falta de coherencia, cumplimiento en cuanto a los derechos humanos, frente a los derechos constitucionales nicaragüenses y, definitivamente, esa distancia que ha tomado la iglesia frente al régimen es el resultado que hoy están enfrentando sus pastores, sus obispos de la iglesia católica”, subraya.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Experts have warned that Catholic school leaders need to be aware that their schools could be cut off from the federal government's free and subsidized lunch program if their policies don't comply with the Biden administration's revised rules against LGBTQ discrimination. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252011/catholic-schools-free-lunch-funding-threatened-by-biden-lgbt-rule-change The Mexican Bishops' Conference expressed its solidarity with the Church in Nicaragua, whose freedom of speech and religion is under attack by the dictatorship of President Daniel Ortega. “At this time of profound suffering, the bishops of Mexico wish to convey to you our fervent prayer, closeness, and support, imploring the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, the much-longed-for peace, justice, and harmonious coexistence of your people,” the conference said in an August 8 statement. The recent wave of repression against the Nicaraguan Church began August 1, when the Ortega dictatorship ordered the closure of eight Catholic radio stations in the Diocese of Matagalpa. Later, the bishop of Matagalpa, Rolando José Álvarez, was placed under house arrest and threatened with prison for allegedly trying to “organize violent groups” to destabilize the government. The Mexican bishops also lamented “that in communities, families, consecrated life, priests, laity, children, and young people suffer from conditions that create fear, take away tranquility, and steal peace.” At the end of their message, the bishops of Mexico implored “the Blessed Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, Empress of America, her maternal intercession to find paths of dialogue that lead to respect and peace.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252012/bishops-of-mexico-stand-in-solidarity-with-nicaragua-at-a-time-of-profound-suffering According to a new representative poll, 58% of German Catholics do not like "the fact that the Pope and the Church speak out against abortions." In July, a leading laywoman and co-president of the German "Synodal Way" demanded a "nationwide provision of abortion" across the European Union's most populous country. Germany currently permits abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, with mandatory counseling at a state-approved center, as well as later abortions in certain circumstances. The Catholic Church teaches that abortion is a grave evil and is never acceptable at any stage of pregnancy, and Pope Francis has repeatedly and strongly condemned abortion. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/252014/majority-of-german-catholics-dont-like-church-being-against-abortion-poll-finds Today, the Church celebrates Saint Clare of Assisi. As a child she was already very strongly drawn to the things of God, praying fervently, devoutly visiting the Blessed Sacrament, and manifesting a tender love towards the poor.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The regime of President Daniel Ortega has ordered police in Nicaragua to launch an investigation into the Catholic bishop of Matagalpa, who they have detained for allegedly trying to "organize violent groups" to destabilize the government. Bishop Rolando José Álvarez, who was placed under house arrest and threatened with prison, has been openly critical of the abuses and human rights violations being committed by the Sandinista regime. In a press release published Aug. 5, the Nicaraguan national police accused high-ranking leaders of the Catholic Church in Matagalpa, and Álvarez in particular, of “using the communications media and social media” to try to “organize violent groups, inciting them to carry out acts of hatred against the population, creating an atmosphere of anxiety and disorder, disturbing the peace and harmony of the community.” Such actions have the "purpose of destabilizing the State of Nicaragua and attacking the constitutional authorities," the police continue. The Ortega regime's police force announced they have already started an investigation “in order to determine the criminal responsibility of the people involved.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251993/nicaraguan-police-place-catholic-bishop-priests-under-house-arrest A gunman shot at a Denver-area Catholic church, Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in separate early morning incidents Saturday and Monday. No one was hurt, but one estimate suggests the gunshots caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Parish staff stressed the need to pray for the perpetrator and emphasized that they are taking the utmost security precautions. Two separate rounds of gunshots hit the parish church in unincorporated Adams County just north of Denver. The Adams County Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation. The parish church is on the same property as Assumption School, which serves about 130 students in pre-K through eighth grade. The shooting has not affected the school, as the school year has not yet begun. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251996/gunshots-target-denver-area-catholic-church The same day last week that Indiana adopted an abortion ban with limited exceptions, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed into law another measure the state's Catholic conference says has the potential to help families. Known as SB2, the legislation, which received broad bipartisan support, provides for a tax exemption for an adopted child, cuts the state's tax on children's diapers, caps the gas tax, and increases the adoption tax credit, the Indy Star reported. It also creates a $45 million fund for a variety of family-related programs and initiatives, the Criterion, the newspaper of the Indianapolis Archdiocese, reported. The legislation was overshadowed by the sweeping abortion ban Holcomb signed into law the same day, Aug. 5. The law represents the first state abortion ban passed in the US following the June 24 US Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v Wade, giving states the authority to regulate abortion. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251995/indiana-abortion-ban-overshadows-another-pro-family-law Today, the Church celebrates Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, also known as Saint Edith Stein. Saint Teresa converted from Judaism to Catholicism in the course of her work as a philosopher, and later entered the Carmelite Order. She died in the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz in 1942. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-teresa-benedicta-of-the-cross-edith-stein-557

En el programa de hoy Reinaldo (@RGZprints) estará conversando con Eddy López artista del grabado y educador nicaragüense, originario de la ciudad de Matagalpa. Eddy nació en tiempos de guerra creciendo durante una transición política entre la dictadura y el triunfo de la revolución sandinista. Desde pequeño encontró la inspiración entre los grandes murales que ilustraban iconos revolucionarios. Gracias a una colección de libros que sus padres tenían, Eddy se fue adentrando en el mundo gráfico y el dibujo, iniciando esta gran travesía que lo llevaría a explorar los conflictos armados y la cruda realidad de aquellos afectados por la guerra que muchas veces son ocultados por los medios de educación.
