Monsignor.

We had to bring you a little something to...

for all your books.

It's very beautiful.

After the reception,

You must come and have a quite lunch with us ...

Just the three of us.

Will you Excuse me for a moment

please.

It's Good to see you.

It's not so much, when compared to ...

but I also brought you something.

This is what I really needed.

- You like them?

- Yeah, Okay

Everybody knows you're coming.

Here comes the Archbishop.

The body of Christ.

Freedom - Freedom - Freedom ...

You have five minutes

to disperse.

The Commander in Chief

of El Salvador

As ordered everyone, to

leave the Plaza.

You have five minutes

to disperse.

We order you to disperse.

We order you to disperse.

Stop it. Stop it.

Ah, Lieutenant ...

You see, Signs

are everywhere --

Unions,

Cooperative Societies ...

Student Organizations.

Everywhere.

Too many people do not realize,

the high risks involved.

The Basic freedoms,

We take for granted ...

Our whole way of life.

And no government can put a

stop to it alone.

Believe me.

Ricardo, This not one of

your business meeting ...

- This is a party.

- We're coming now.

We were just looking at the house.

Natalia is feeling very uncomfortable here.

Doesn't know anyone here.

She knows me.

- I like her.

- So do I.

So she is the one, you marry?

I doubt it.

Monsignor, I like you to meet,

Ricardo Columa.

My warmest Congratulations,

Monsignor.

Thank you.

Who is that?

I don't know how to say this about.

About an hour ago

while I was giving Holy Communion ...

With Fathers Osuna

and Morantes ...

and suddenly the

National Guard arrived.

And now there are, perhaps ...

dead.

- I'll go at once.

- It's too late.

Don't you see

what is going on around here?

Anyone who says what he thinks ...

about land reforms, or wages,

or God or human rights ...

automatically he

is labled a communist.

He lives in fear ...

they take him away,

they torture him, they kill him.

You don't believe me, right?

Goodbye, Oscar.

Where are you going?

Back to A Aguilares ...

to be with my people ...

to serve them,

to work with them, to strengthen them,

While they are still alive.

This is not the way God wants his

children to live...

It cries out to heaven for redress.

Therefore, even at the

risk of being misunderstood ...

or persecuted,

The Church must lift it's

voice in protest ...

when a society is so

permeated with injustice. ``

- What does you all think?

- It's inflammatory.

The people would take to the streets.

But there is nothing but

truth in the statement ...

and it must be said.

I believe it should read

at all the Masses, this Sunday.

I'm not sure.

You asked for the statement,
