U.S. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has been elected as the new pope, taking the name Leo XIV<\/a>. His election has drawn particular attention due to his closeness to the Catholic Church in Nicaragua, which is being persecuted by the regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo. <\/p>\n\n

In 2022, now Pope Leo XIV, then a member of the Peruvian Bishops\u2019 Conference, signed a letter calling for justice and democracy in Nicaragua. The letter was addressed to Monsignor Carlos Herrera, president of the Nicaraguan Bishops\u2019 Conference, who has since been exiled by the regime. <\/p>\n\n

The letter from the Peruvian Bishops\u2019 Conference reads: \u201cIn the midst of the pain and forgiveness that fills the hearts of Nicaraguan Catholics, there is a cry for justice and respect\u2014one that allows them to express their convictions freely, as those who live in a true democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cViolence has never built anything; it only sows the seeds of poverty and hatred. Violence, especially when unjustified, destroys the harmony, respect, and peace our peoples need to achieve full development and social friendship,\u201d the letter continues.<\/p>\n\n

During their 123rd Plenary Assembly, the bishops of Peru <\/a>expressed solidarity with the Nicaraguan people, saying they were offering special prayers for \u201cthose who have been deprived of their freedom\u201d in Nicaragua.<\/p>\n\n

Just hours after Leo XIV\u2019s<\/a> inauguration, the Archdiocese of Managua shared a photo showing the new pontiff alongside Nicaraguan Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes, highlighting the close relationship between the Catholic leaders. <\/p>\n\n

CEN Prays for Pope Leo XIV<\/h2>\n\n

The Episcopal Conference of Nicaragua (CEN) celebrated the election of the new pontiff of the Catholic Church and asked God to grant him a gentle and humble heart.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe give thanks to God for blessing us with a new shepherd, and we pray that He grants him a gentle and humble heart, like that of Jesus Christ, so he may lead the Church along the paths of the Gospel,\u201d stated the Nicaraguan episcopate.<\/p>\n\n

The Nicaraguan bishops offered Pope Leo XIV their \u201cexpressions of communion, respect, and filial obedience to his person and ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe entrust him to the loving protection of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, so that during his pontificate he may always strengthen us in faith, guided by the Holy Spirit who makes him a sign and foundation of unity, fraternity, and peace, as he expressed in his first words as Bishop of Rome,\u201d the Episcopal Conference added.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

\u201cMay God grant our Pope Leo XIV a long life and ministry,\u201d concluded the Nicaraguan bishops. <\/p>\n\n

Opposition Hopes for Support in Their \u201cLonging for Freedom\u201d <\/h2>\n\n

Nicaraguan opposition figures in exile congratulated American Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost on his election as the new pope, under the name Leo XIV, and expressed hope that he will stand with them in their \u201clonging for freedom\u201d for Nicaragua.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe send our greetings to Leo XIV on his appointment as the new pope. We do so from Nicaragua, a country where the Catholic Church is persecuted by a totalitarian dictatorship,\u201d said the opposition group Uni\u00f3n Democr\u00e1tica Renovadora (Unamos) in a statement.<\/p>\n\n

“We look forward to your accompaniment of the Nicaraguan people in their yearning for freedom,” Unamos added.<\/p>\n\n

The Blue and White National Unity (UNAB) also congratulated the new Pope Leo XIV and said they hope that \u201cduring his pontificate, as the official representative of the Vatican State, he keeps in mind the Nicaraguan people who are being persecuted by the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship for practicing their faith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo has suspended diplomatic relations with the Vatican and has had repeated confrontations with the Catholic Church. So far, they have made no official statement regarding the election of Pope Leo XIV. <\/p>\n\n

For the <\/a><\/a><\/a> Foundation for Freedom, led by denationalized opposition figure F\u00e9lix Maradiaga, the election of Leo XIV represents \u201ca source of hope for the persecuted Church\u201d in Nicaragua.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cFrom the Foundation for the Freedom of Nicaragua, we receive with hope and respect the announcement that Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has been elected as the new Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church (\u2026) His election, in the context of the Holy Year declared by his predecessor, Pope Francis, marks a new chapter in the life of the universal Church,\u201d the foundation stated from exile.<\/p>\n\n

Hope for \u2018Moral Comfort and Pastoral Support\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Maradiaga said that \u201cLeo XIV\u2019s pastoral path\u2014especially his commitment to the peoples of Latin America\u2014is an encouraging sign for those of us who believe in the power of faith as a force for social transformation, particularly in contexts of repression and institutional violence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIn Nicaragua, the Catholic Church has been the victim of systematic persecution by the dictatorship. Many clergy members and religious communities have faced imprisonment, exile, and harassment for standing firm in their spiritual mission and their defense of fundamental rights,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n

For this reason, they hope \u201cthat Leo XIV\u2019s pontificate offers moral comfort and pastoral support to those living their faith under threat today, and that it helps strengthen global solidarity with persecuted Churches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Cardinal Prevost was elected on Thursday, May 8, 2025, on the second day of the conclave to succeed Pope Francis.<\/p>\n\n

Leo XIV, the name chosen by the cardinal, also holds Peruvian citizenship and had been serving as President of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America since January 2023.<\/p>\n\n

Shortly after his election, the new pope appeared before thousands gathered in St. Peter\u2019s Square, declaring that God loves humanity \u201cunconditionally\u201d and encouraged all to walk \u201ctogether, hand in hand,\u201d affirming that \u201cevil will not prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Thus, Leo XIV becomes the 267th pontiff in history and successor to Francis (2013-2025), who died last April 21 at the age of 88.<\/p>\n\n
