In the United States both the media and the administration label the Sandinista government Marxist and accuse it of religious intolerance. Yet even the most superficial familiarity with the Nicaraguan Revolution reveals how Christianity inspired the insurrection that triumphed on July 19, 1979, and has continued to foster revolutionary spirit ever since, especially in the face of contra aggression. While the Catholic hierarchy continues to oppose the revolution, the popular Christian base communities have managed to blend liberation theology with Marxist theory. Presently, three priests are in ministerial posts, including Ernesto Cardenal, minister of culture (see interview with him in this issue). The Christian church, historically one of the great patrons of art in the Western tradition, has resumed this role in Nicaragua
