“Those sloppy priests that go around without their cassocks!” he would agonize. “Better that they go without their cassocks since they’re just chasing after prostitutes anyway!” And he’d agonize more. It was true. There were womanizing priests. And liquor flowed faster than communion wine among them. Pastoral plans? They all went up in smoke. There was no interest. There was no effort. And the bishop? Bishop Machado didn’t give orders and he didn’t give advice. What he gave were loans at outrageous interest rates. Everybody knew those stories, and Father Romero knew them best because he saw all the drama from the inside.”
María López Vigil, Monsenor Romero: Memories in Mosaic

“Holy Saturday, the Army came back and threw their tortured, lifeless bodies at the entrance to the village. I felt like I would die of frustration and helplessness. On Monday I went to see Eduardo Álvarez, the Bishop of San Miguel. In addition to being a bishop, he was a colonel in the Army with long-established ties to the military. “What do you want me to do about it?” he asked when I told him about the killings. “You should go to El Carmen and console the people there. They need it . . .” “They need it?! Ha! Those people were asking for it. Now they’ll just have to take what’s coming to them!” That was his only response. I felt even more powerless, and my anger was starting to choke me.”
María López Vigil, Monsenor Romero: Memories in Mosaic

“Brothers and sisters, I fear that if Jesus were to return today, walking from Galilea to Judea, which for us is from Chalatenango to San Salvador . . . I dare say that with his words and actions, he’d never get as far as Apopa. They’d arrest him around Guazapa, and they’d treat him badly, even silence him, or have him disappeared!”
María López Vigil, Monsenor Romero: Memories in Mosaic
