Sendero

[1] The previous press organ of CEP, Comunidad had been shut down in 1969 after persistent repression and harassment from the Alfredo Stroessner government.

[1] During the period 1969–1973 the only organ of the Catholic Church had been an internal 'Information Bulletine' circulated within parishes but without possibility of distribution through news-kiosks.

[1] Sendero continued publication throughout the rest of the Stroessner years, but was constantly under the watchful eyes the Ministry of Education and the Dirección General de Culto.

[3] In particular, a Guarani language column titled Ñande kuéra kuete irritated the state authorities.

The column, authored by José Leon (a pseudonym), repeatedly commented on cases of political repression in the country.
