Bishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador was originally considered a conservative Vatican appointment, but by 1980 he had become so outraged by the spiraling violence directed against reformers, radicals and the poor in El Salvadorâs so called dirty war that he spoke out against it. No doubt thatâs why the right wing military of El Salvador found it necessary to assassinate him. "The peasants you kill are your own brothers and sisters," Romero told the military in a sermon broadcast on radio just days before he was killed. "When you hear the voice of the man commanding you to kill, remember instead the voice of God. Thou shalt not kill."
