Reply #4: Wow, what a great man! [View All]

I'm grateful to learn about this guy:

While celebrating mass at a small chapel near his cathedral, Romero was shot to death while he was giving a sermon in which he called for soldiers to disobey orders that violated basic human rights. It is believed that his assassins were members of Salvadoran death squads,

Named a servant of God by the pope, and celebrated by many, now me. The quotes on the page are awesome, I recommend any lurkers click the link above:

* "Brothers, you came from our own people. You are killing your own brothers. Any human order to kill must be subordinate to the law of God, which says, 'Thou shalt not kill'. No soldier is obliged to obey an order contrary to the law of God. No one has to obey an immoral law. It is high time you obeyed your consciences rather than sinful orders. The church cannot remain silent before such an abomination. ... In the name of God, in the name of this suffering people whose cry rises to heaven more loudly each day, I implore you, I beg you, I order you: stop the repression."

A man celebrated by history. And those who killed him? did they think they would be thought of as heros? They are turds, and history remembers them as turds. More nameless shits to be flushed from the toilet of human memory while guys like Romero are remembered.
