Oscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, was a reliable conservative until he started seeing what the right-wing government, backed by the United States, was doing to the poor, including death squads and torture. He was shot to death while celebrating Mass near his cathedral. Nine months later four Maryknoll sisters were killed by the army, and nine Jesuit priests were murdered in 1989, along with their housekeeper and her daughter. (Robert Lentz)
