In a conversation with the Wall Street Journal, Honduran Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga has repeated and explained the stand taken by that country’s Catholic bishops, supporting the ouster of former President Zelaya and resisting international pressure (led by the Obama administration) for Zelaya’s return to office.

The unseating of Zelaya was “a constitutional removal of the president,” the cardinal said. While it did cause a political crisis in Honduras, the process was conducted legally, he said, and the bishops were “calling for the reconciliation of the country” after Zelaya’s departure.
