This means they were doing something right.

Nuns from the order founded by Mother Teresa have left Nicaragua after their organisation was stripped of its legal status.

They were escorted by police to the border and crossed into neighbouring Costa Rica on foot.

Their organisation is among the latest to be shut down as part of a crackdown on anyone deemed to oppose President Daniel Ortega.

The Catholic Church has been outspoken about human rights abuses in Nicaragua.

Local media said 18 nuns from the Missionaries of Charity were driven to the border in a bus escorted by migration officials and police officers.

The group had been stripped of its legal status on 28 June by the Nicaraguan parliament, where members of President Ortega ‘s Sandinista party are in the majority.

The nuns had been working with the poor in Nicaragua since 1988 and ran a children’s nursery, a home for abused and abandoned girls and a nursing home.

A government department which oversees non-governmental organisations accused it of “not meeting its obligations” to declare the provenance of its funds.

More than 200 organisations have been shut down in Nicaragua since 2018 for allegedly breaching strict new laws about funding.

Among those closed down is the renowned Nicaraguan Academy of Language as well as a medical charity providing surgeries for children with cleft palates.

Tension between the government of Daniel Ortega and the Catholic Church has been high ever since clergy sheltered students protesting against President Ortega during a wave of anti-government protests in 2018.”

The Church should stand for the sacredness of life and the God-given dignity of each individual everywhere. Because of that mission it will be opposed. That is a good and healthy thing for the Church. Jesus was not accepted by many. Those spreading the gospel will be opposed.

When we’re not being harried, persecuted, or cancelled I start to worry.

I would hope that many in the Church learn this lesson and not cozy up to dictators and tyrants for favorable treatment.
