Auxiliary Bishop of Managua, Nicaragua<\/strong>
Pope Francis, at the beginning of 2019, asked me to leave the country for a period of time, to protect my own life. He asked me to go to Rome, with no specific mission in mind, simply out of a desire to protect my life. I remember something he said to me. 'I don't want another bishop martyr in Latin America.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
