Obama's tomb Romero

The photos to the newspapers tomorrow will go down in history of the Americas: President of the United States in prayer at the tomb of Bishop Romero's assassination (March 24, 31 years ago) in the name of the "war on communism" ordered by another president from Washington annoyed Church who defended peasants abandoned the death squads.

Reagan years, years of Obama. Romero is buried in the vaults of the cathedral of San Salvador, the last step of Obama's long trip to Latin America. 31 years ago the church was engulfed by fire on Sunday and distressed by the homilies of a bishop. He read the names of students, intellectuals, trade unionists led away by military boots of the generals in Argentina as P2.

Silence of the newspapers, silence Tv Romero not resign. Denounced (full names) responsible for the high standard of the crimes. In short, subversive red as the Jesuits and many finished underground religious freedom in the name of the free market. Every other faith communities had never suffered this kind of persecution after the Nazi era.

Only the pain of a murdered priest around Warsaw, the Church's official silence, while the death of fourteen men and thousands of people disappeared in El Salvador in the shadows of the Vatican by John Paul II. If people consider Latin Romero "martyr and saint," the Romans monsignors study with suspicion beatification immediately granted to the poor priest beaten to death by the Polish team which obeyed Moscow, the same obedience of the teams in Salvador bowed to 6 million dollars sent every day from Washington to "defend the Christian world." It was 1980, because of the Middle Ages.

The Lutheran Church and the Anglican Church commemorates the martyrdom of Romero each March 24. And in his name on March 24 by the United Nations is consecrated "day of the defense of truth." Now the meeting between Obama and the bishop, separated by death but united by a hope that opens the moral Two thousand generations.

Men of peace from the dignity of the past, a difference that our days spreading. Romero has played his life defending the rights of strangers to normal without wealth. With the same ideals Obama hits the button of the war to save people who claim to democracy. Bombs good for Obama, bad bomb to Gaddafi.

And the people condemned to bear the side effects do not realize that diversity. From the way I guess I knew that Romero would not agree. The first meeting Sunday, June 29, 1978. He looked like a country priest. Descended from a small car driven by a seminarian and his habit he got up, revealing a pale ankle, socks folded over his shoes torn from the strap.

Tenderness and disappointment as he can, so fragile, to challenge the selfishness of the oligarchies that owners of newspapers and television every day the massacre of insults? Then the talk in San Jose on the Mount, the seminar turned into a camp for refugees fleeing the countryside where the special forces (phosphorous bombs, Green Berets trained by U.S.

advisers) were burning people to create a vacuum around the guerrillas' Edge scare is a shame unbearable insult to humanity, an insult to God. " And then, and then, until the last greeting: "Why are journalists going home? Without witnesses the lights go out, who knows what will happen.

" Three months after the fire on the altar. The murderess promoted to captain now living in the U.S.. "Untraceable" by the police of Bush Sr., Bush Jr. and President Clinton. I wonder if Obama will find it. , March 22, 2011
