The Murder of Archbishop Oscar Romero

Witness History

Available for over a year

The outspoken Archbishop of El Salvador was killed by gunmen whilst preaching in church in March 1980. Hear from a Salvadoran journalist who was in the church at the time; and from the former US Ambassador to El Salvador, who knew him. Archbishop Romero will be beatified by the Catholic Church later this week - a step on the road to sainthood.
