    EP 159: Free the Bishops - The Crisis in Nicaragua

    EP 159: Free the Bishops - The Crisis in Nicaragua

    This podcast is part of our "Take Over This Connected Initiative"  Giving others the opportunity to use our platform to share and connect others to what and how they are living out their faith.

    This is that takeover episode by "Carmelita" a member of the Discalced Carmelite Secular Order regarding the often overlooked situation and conditions of the Catholic Church and other people of faith in the country of Nicaragua.

    Carmelite Quotes is a member of the Discalced Carmelite Secular Order (OCDS) in the Washington Province whose primary apostolate is to share the message of Carmel by publishing a blog, graphics, and other resources that provide accurate quotes from Carmelite saints and authors. As a professional translator, "Carmelita" provides translation services to members of the Discalced Carmelite Order worldwide. Since 2018, Carmelita has supported the ministry and prophetic mission of Auxiliary Bishop Silvio Jose Baez of the Managua Archdiocese, who is also a Discalced Carmelite. Thus, Carmelita has assisted Nicaraguans over the last five years to spread their message among English-speaking readers. Since Christmas 2023, she has joined with another freedom-loving activist from Scotland to host the "Free the Bishops" podcast on Spotify to reach more English-speaking listeners with the message of religious freedom for the Catholic Church in Nicaragua. A clergy convert, Carmelita is a member of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter and is a volunteer organist for her local Ordinariate community.

    DISCLAIMER: In no way does Carmelite Quotes represent Secular Carmelite communities, the province, or the Discalced Carmelite order in any official capacity or claim to do so. Carmelite Quotes speaks strictly in an individual capacity. Although every attempt is made to provide accurate information, it may not necessarily represent the official teaching or position of the Discalced Carmelite Order.
