Vatican lifts suspension on missionary priest.

[No Vested Interest]

According to christiannewswire.com, The Vatican has issued a decree that lifts a 29-year suspension on Father Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, a Maryknoll priest. During the 1970s, Fr. d'Escoto, who is 81, became engaged in politics in Nicaragua. He joined the Sandanista National Liberation Front, a political party that overthrew the Somoza government and established a revolutionary government.

For his political involvement and failure to resign as Nicaraguan Foreign Minister, Fr. d'Escoto was suspended from his priestly duties. He has remained in Nicaragua as a member of the Maryknoll society.

The lifting of the suspension allows Fr. d'Escoto to resume his priestly duties.
