Abstract
We who participated in the Fourth Congress of Central American Sociology, which took place in Managua in July 1980, can testify to the happy and optimistic atmosphere of those days closely following the first anniversary of the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution. We all shared the feeling of happiness and of national independence. Dark clouds were not absent, of course, but the optimism in the wake of victory was intoxicating. In some respects, the Nicaraguan revolution seemed even to surpass the Cuban. There was, for example, the open and enthusiastic participation of many Christians in the Sandinista struggle-a participation highlighted by the close collaboration of a large group of priests with the leaders of the Sandinista National Liberation Front. Thanks in great part to the pastoral letter published by the Nicaraguan bishops in November 1979, optimism about the revolutionary position of the Catholic church persisted for many months.
