Exile Nicaraguan bishop Silvio Báez warned against the dangers of greed and the ambition for power within totalitarian governments during a Sunday homily delivered from San José, Costa Rica. Báez, a prominent critic of the Nicaraguan government led by President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo, has been stripped of his nationality by the state.
The religious leader's remarks highlight ongoing tensions between the Catholic Church and the Nicaraguan administration, which has faced sustained international criticism over its treatment of dissidents and religious figures. The exiled bishop continues to use his platform abroad to address governance and authoritarianism in his home country.
