Jesuit University Shut Down

A Nicaraguan judge on August 15 ordered the confiscation of all assets (property, buildings, bank accounts) of the Jesuit-run UCA university in Managua, claiming it was a center for terrorism. The 63-year-old university, with 8.000 students, has suspended its activities. It has been a hub for the 2018 protests against President Daniel Ortega. This is one of many actions taken by the Nicaraguan authorities against the Church.

Ortega is a communist who shut down a Jesuit University that opposed his repressive regime. Let that sink in.

Yes, I think this is a case where like-minded people turn on their own or why the Church [even liberals within it] should never make nice with communists. I recall when I was in seminary in the early 90s how some of my profs waxed lyrical on their "beloved Nica"; they were liberation theologians & thought Ortega was great fighting the big, bad Reagan/Bush tyranny of the U.

My question is: which Church? Certainly not the Catholic Church! Most of the modern Jesuits are all .... brothers-in-arms with the BergoCircus!

I don't know a jota about Ortega & Co, but who can assure us that mentioned university really belongs to the Church?

We have a liberal Jesuit university near our family house (afew miles) called St. Joseph's University on the outskirts of Philadelphia. I did alittle research into it afew months ago when I read of one of their Jesuits being a pedophile. IN the 1950's right before Vatican II, there were almost 200 Jesuits on campus. Today? Five. That's all !!
