A saint?
At this moment when Pope John Paul II has been declared a saint, it is useful to recall his all-out campaign against Liberation Theology in Latin America, a campaign which included his demand during his 1983 mass in Managua that Nicaraguan revolutionaries abandon their "unacceptable ideological commitments". At the time of John Paul's second visit to Nicaragua in 1996, Nicaragua Network Co-Coordinator Katherine Hoyt posted to the old reg.nicaragua on Peacenet a letter she had written 13 years before about the 1983 visit.

Say NO to the Trans-Pacific Partnership!
The Nicaragua Network urges you to join the fight to stop the TPP! The Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, is a massive new trade and investment pact being pushed behind closed doors by the U.S. government at the behest of transnational corporations. U.S. negotiators have granted approximately 600 corporate lobbyists special “cleared advisor” status that enables them to review and comment on draft TPP texts, while flatly refusing to tell the public what they are proposing in our names.
