Quote of the week...

From a great hero of mine, spoken eight days before his murder...
"Those who think that my preaching is political, that it incites to violence, as though I were the cause of all the evils in the land, forget that the church’s word does not invent the evils in the world; it casts a light on them.

The light shows what is there, it does not create it. The great evil is already there, and God’s word wants to undo those evils. It points them out, as it must, for people to return to right ways.”
Oscar Romero, March 16, 1980
