On July 13, paramilitaries wearing ski masks shot up the parish house and Church of Divine Mercy in Nicaragua's capital of Managua. There were more than 100 government protesters inside, many of them students from a nearby university who had sought refuge. Two people were killed and 10 wounded during the 15-hour siege.⠀

"We were all on the floor, the lights were out, we were all terrified," said the Rev. Erick Alvarado, who lived through the attack. In the sacristy, three bullets perforated a life-size painting of Christ.⠀

For more than three months, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has set loose his forces on those who have rebelled against his government, after what started as local protests against a tax increase turned into a national movement. More than 300 people have been killed, most of them opponents of Mr. Ortega, human-rights groups say.⠀
⠀
The Catholic Church has been on the front lines. Clergy have been assaulted and at least 10 churches have been attacked, shot at, looted or defiled during the last three months. During a speech last week, Mr. Ortega said the bishops were allied with opponents seeking a violent coup.⠀
⠀
On Friday, the Church of Divine Mercy was packed with worshipers, most of them middle-class Nicaraguans. In the overflow crowd outside, a driver said he was there to show his solidarity with the church and the bishops. "We are here to back the bishops," he said. "We think worse days are coming to Nicaragua."⠀
