C. The Catholic Church spoke out against human rights abuses by the Somoza family and Daniel Ortega.

Since 1945, the Catholic Church has played a significant role in advocating for human rights in Nicaragua, particularly during the Somoza dictatorship and later in response to issues arising during the Sandinista government under Daniel Ortega. The Church has often been a voice against violence and human rights abuses in the country, including its opposition to the Somoza regime and its criticism of some actions taken by Sandinista leadership.
