Oscar Arnulfo Romero, d. 24 March 1980
Mar. 24th, 2005 10:45 pm( "We are prophets of a future not our own" )
And surely Romero who never stood at the altar never fell forward into his leaping blood. If he had, it would have been because he was instructing peasants how to make weapons out of the corn cobs they steal from the pig troughs out behind the army barracks. Nothing happens. No one falls. And no saints in heaven can suffer enough to absolve the sin of my recantation.
--Erik Ehn, "Una Carroña"
