In Nicaragua, a significant crackdown on the Catholic Church is causing widespread fear among the faithful, both within the country and in exile. Reports indicate that the government has expelled nineteen priests and there have been numerous incidents of harassment and desecration of churches. This has led to a dire situation in rural areas, where there is a lack of worship opportunities and social services for the Catholic community. The situation appears to be deteriorating further in 2024.
