Thinking Faith, the online journal of the British Jesuits, posted an artricle by Michael Campbell-Johnson SJ. The article, Romero: ‘the voice of those who had no voice’ remembers the 31st anniversary of his martyrdom. Archbishop Romero was assisinated by orders of the government of San Salvador while celebrating Mass on March 24, 1980.
I was particularly struck by Fr. Michael’s use of the word “conversion” to describe his faith journey. Romero grew from a timid, retiring, hesitant, conservative, don’t rock the boat churchman to become a champion of the cause of the oppressed.
