Although Father Edwin Román considers that the religious humanly deserves the distinction, he believes that he, as a minister and priest of God, “does not seek honors or applause.”nRead: Clergy in exile ask the church in Nicaragua to manage the freedom of Monsignor Rolando Álvarezn“If that (the award) is a feeling of many citizens as I have seen that they have promoted, it is good that it be recognized, but I repeat, ministers and priests are not looking for any title. All this that is given to Monsignor Rolando is for the Glory of God and for the honor of the Nicaraguan people,” said Father Román.

Sacrifice of Monsignor Rolando Álvarez Nicaragua passes through bars

In this sense, Father Marcos Somarriba of the Santa Agatha parish, explained that the martyrdom of Monsignor Rolando Álvarez will not silence his prophetic voice of denunciations of injustices and violations of the human rights of Nicaraguans.nnn“As Santiago said when they took him tied to the Calvary to cut off his head: ‘They can tie my hands, but never my word’, the same thing happens with Monsignor Álvarez because where he is unjustly imprisoned, he is not limited to his thinking, that goes beyond the bars.” , he commented.

He added that due to the fact of coherence and prophetic mission, the Bishop has already been elevated as a man of faith and an apostle of the Lord.nnMonsignor Rolando Álvarez was nominated for the Sakharov Prize for his firmness against the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. Proof of this was his refusal to leave Nicaragua in exile last February, which cost him his freedom and the loss of his property and Nicaraguan nationality.
