Résumé
--
Oscar Arnulfo Romero (1917-1980) is beyond doubt the Salvadorian best known outside the borders of his country. An emblematic character in the history of the Latin American Church, his life and destiny - his murder and martyrdom - has constantly attracted the interest of successive generations of believers, as a model of authenticity, courage and self-sacrifice. A man of the people, courageously committed to transforming history, Oscar Romero never ceased to proclaim his belonging to the poorer classes, those who form the People of God and the keystone of his prophetic inspiration. The simple life of peasants and workers opened his eyes to the reality of the exploitation of the poor and, little by little, transformed his relation to the Scriptures. Denouncing the fundamental causes of injustice and repression, he revealed the extent and the nature of the evil Salvador's people had to bear, and learned how to face reality with awareness and responsibly. The aim of this book is not only to pay homage to this outstanding man, but also to do justice to the victims of political intolerance and oligarchy, which devastated Salvador during the period studied. Much more than an individual biography, this is the history of a people confronted with the fight to survive: the Church of Salvador possesses the greatest number of martyrs, who gave their lives for the Gospel and freedom. In this context, Oscar Romero, as a man of the Church profoundly committed to the service of his people, appears like a ray of light of universal conscience, an apostle of non-violence and a prophet of our times.
