Daniel Ortega, the president-dictator of Nicaragua, accused the Vatican of being a part of the “conglomerate of fascism” on Monday, August 26, 2024, during a summit with heads of state of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA), a 10-nation confederacy in Central and South America and the Caribbean. He further stated that the Holy See had collaborated with the Nazis in Germany, Italy, and Spain during the last century. President Ortega also expressed that we cannot close our eyes to reality, even as the Vatican is seeking to “dominate the world.”
The Nicaraguan president expressed the following during the summit:
“Everything we call fascism—that was the period where a European democratic party in European Democratic practices brought Hitler to the presidency. And then Mussolini and then the Spanish Franco, Franco, Franco. Franco, who destroyed the Spanish people, Franco was linked with who? Another empire. A powerful empire was being formed. The Vatican, the Vatican! The Vatican was an accomplice of the Nazis. It was an accomplice with the Nazis in Italy, in Germany, and Spain. In Spain, there was even an armed confrontation. Catholic Christians manipulated in the defense of democracy. There was a war, a war. Like the war that occurred in Mexico. Madness at war. And we cannot close our eyes to that reality. The Vatican is just another instrument in all these battles that we are fighting. It is another instrument that is part of the conglomerate of fascism that, in new modalities, wants to dominate the world” (Youtube Video).
Daniel Ortega, who is widely considered to be a dictator by many human rights organizations, has been a central figure in Nicaraguan politics since the 1980s. He is, therefore, someone who knows first-hand what it means to be a tyrant. That is why, when Daniel Ortega accuses the Vatican of being an oppressive and unjust power that is seeking absolute control on a global scale, he is indicating that what he has said is absolutely true, dependable, and certain.
There is no denying that Rome is the primary force influencing political and moral discourse, as well as the epicenter of global influence. World leaders often look to the Vatican for advice on peace negotiations, humanitarian efforts, climate policies, finance, artificial intelligence, and social justice issues because it is a powerful organization with extensive international diplomacy reach. The Pope plays a pivotal role in fostering dialogue among the nations of the world, reflecting the Church’s profound impact on both spiritual and secular spheres.
From a prophetic perspective, the papacy embodies the beast power described in Revelation 13, which is responsible for uniting political and religious powers in opposition to God. The papacy is also the Antichrist, a figure prophesied to deceive and lead many away from true biblical teachings. Additionally, the harlot woman of Revelation 17, described as engaging in spiritual adultery with the kings of the earth, is symbolizing Rome’s work in leading the world to embrace her doctrines and traditions that are contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Indeed, Daniel Ortega is correct in warning people not to forget about the Vatican’s past. God’s word reminds us that this power is the chief enemy to both God and man because “in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth” (Revelation 18:24). And yes, this includes the blood that was shed during the Nazi reign of terror.

The king of the south is troubled with the activities of the king of the north. Both kings need to turn to the true King Jesus Christ.

Repent. Just because he speaks against papal vatican you are going to give it credence ? Same as Conrad Vine exemplifying Andrei Shelkov movement as the true and faithful Adventists in Russia. May as well join the Shepherd’s ROd and VIctor Houteff or better yet – David Koresh Waco followers :). Get real and stop giving redence to the wrong sources
