Nicaraguan government condemns Vatican as "depraved" and "pedophile" after exiled bishop's interview, expelling 50 clergy.

Nicaragua's government harshly criticized the Vatican as "depraved" and "pedophile" following an interview by exiled Bishop Rolando Alvarez on a Catholic TV channel. Alvarez, a critic of President Daniel Ortega, was recently released from detention. The government's strong response has escalated tensions, with nearly 50 priests and nuns expelled and accusations that Catholic institutions are destabilizing the government. This could further pressure remaining Catholic leaders in Nicaragua and complicate relations with the Vatican.
