Oscar Romero Report
Oscar Romero Report
Oscar Romero was born on August 15th 1917 in Ciudad Barrios, El Salvador. Oscar Romero was a well known Archbishop who fought against political oppression in the history of El Salvador. Oscar Romero also fought against poverty, social injustice, assassinations and torture. He was assassinated on March 24th 1980 for spreading the Christian message to soldiers. If The soldiers converted to believing his message they would no longer be willing to hurt the poor people. The government would then have no one to order. This passion was formed when one of his closest friends Rutilio Grande was brutally murdered as he was going to go visit one of his chapels. That changed Oscar’s life and he began to protest for the poor and spread the word of peace and love around El Salvador .
Oscar Romero showed hope to the poor and spread the word to others by broadcasting on the radio. That made the Government angry because they didn’t want him spreading the word to others so they blew up his radio station. But then CAFOD offered to build it again so people could hear his messages once again. One of the messages were directed to the Christian Soldiers.
Oscar Romero said:
“I'd like to make an appeal in a special way to the men in the army. Brothers, each one of you is one of us. We are the same People. The farmers and peasants that you kill are your own brothers and sisters. When you hear the words of a man telling you to kill, think instead in the words of God, "Thou shalt not kill!" No soldier is obliged to obey an order contrary to the Law of God. In His Name and in the name of our tormented people who have suffered so much, and whose laments cry out to heaven:
I implore you!
I beg you!
I ORDER you!!
STOP THE REPRESSION!!”
Oscar Romero knew he was going to die but still fought for justice and rights until his last day of life. After his death, many people went to his funeral and 40 were killed and injured by the soldiers working for the government. The situation worsened as many people were terrified of losing their lives. Oscar Romero was canonized on May 23rd 2015 by Pope Francis.
