00:02:37 Good morning.
00:02:39 Hey, Hernando.
00:02:42 Take the bus to El Paisnal
00:02:46 there are more than 100
00:02:49 Come.
00:02:53 Look at them.
00:03:05 I cursed the rain ...
00:03:08 I cursed the dirt.
00:03:11 But after the land was saved...
00:03:13 I don't know, why I loved it too.

00:03:18 But now ...
00:03:21 They come and says,
00:03:24 We were only share croppers
00:03:27 When we refused to go ...
00:03:29 They burned our homes.
00:03:32 We were left with nothing.
00:03:34 - It is God's will.
00:03:37 I think God look at these things
00:03:43 What is the matter?
00:03:46 What are you thinking?
00:03:48 What are you doing?
00:03:51 I am not doing anything.
00:03:54 At last.
00:03:57 Archbishop Chavez says
00:04:00 What did you think?
00:04:05 I have always believed in you ...
00:04:08 in your strength,
00:04:12 But some even say you ...
00:04:15 are subversive ...
00:04:18 an agitator.
00:04:22 Remember who else they
00:04:26 Jesus is not somewhere up in the clouds ...
00:04:29 lying in a hammock.
00:04:33 building his kingdom.
00:04:35 Oscar, what else can I do?
00:04:37 I cannot love God
00:04:40 if I do not love my
00:04:44 whom I can see.
00:04:49 "Father Grande"
00:04:52 They are stopping
00:04:54 - The Voters can't get through.
00:04:56 On the road from El Paisnal.
00:05:33 It's Okay now.
00:05:36 We must have to get
00:05:38 Tell that to the guerrillas,
00:06:19 The road is closed.
00:06:21 Good afternoon, Lieutenant.
00:06:24 These people want to
00:06:28 There are snipers shooting
00:06:31 The polls close in three hours.
00:06:34 I'm Sorry, but ...
00:06:37 I cannot jeopardize the safety
00:06:48 They say the road
00:06:52 These buses are not going
00:06:59 The Lieutenant will not let us
00:07:04 So...
00:07:09 Yes, Father.
00:07:12 Come on, Lieutenant,
00:07:16 You don't need me.
00:07:18 No terrorist would dare
00:07:38 I'll see the jeep get's back,
00:07:40 Take a little walk.
00:08:01 Martínez.
00:08:17 Keep moving.
00:08:19 Come on.
00:08:33 Let them try
00:08:35 first they have
00:08:37 We walk under the protection
00:08:40 Jesus was vulnerable.
00:08:43 Then what shall we be,
00:08:45 Not cowards
00:08:47 Just ordinary people
00:08:49 So are the soldiers.
00:08:51 You know?
00:08:54 they won't allow the Bible
00:08:58 All we get is
00:09:00 because everything inside on the
00:09:05 Tilia, you should be the one taking
00:09:09 I'm not even a Bishop.
00:09:12 But you can
00:09:14 We need someone who can change things
00:09:17 Rivera y Damas
00:09:20 The worst would be Romero.
00:09:25 Not even the Vatican is that crazy.
00:09:28 He fiddles the violin while
00:09:31 We won't let El Salvador
00:10:14 Come in.
00:10:18 - Oscar.
00:10:24 Are you alright?
00:10:26 I'm fine.
00:10:28 It's been a difficult day.
00:10:33 I have some news for you.
00:10:35 Please sit down, Monsignor..
00:10:37 I feel you may need
00:10:40 You have been appointed Archbishop.
00:10:52 I am not qualified.
00:10:54 The Vatican has
00:10:57 and I will support you.
00:10:59 Others won't.
00:11:01 It's not an easy time.
00:11:13 What should I do?
00:11:17 What God wants.
00:11:21 What is that?
00:11:33 He is a good compromise choice.
00:11:38 He's a bookworm.
00:11:40 The whole country would be running wild
00:11:45 The military would keep a lid
00:11:46 They may need to.
00:11:49 And you'd get an another medal.
00:11:51 Perhaps...
00:11:53 Anyway, his health is delicate,
00:11:59 Yes, Give him a happy death soon.
00:13:01 I come from a world of books.
00:13:07 and
00:13:09 There is much to learn
00:13:14 But I have much else to learn.
00:13:19 There is ferment
00:13:23 alive in our land.
00:13:27 Certain priests accept ...
00:13:29 and express the most radical ideas
00:13:38 But none of us can pretend
00:13:42 that others
00:13:48 We in the Church,
00:13:50 must keep to the centre,
00:13:55 in the traditional way ...
00:13:57 but seeking justice.

00:22:45 to serve them,
00:23:34 This is not the way God wants his
00:23:38 It cries out to heaven for redress.
00:23:43 Therefore, even at the

00:23:51 The Church must lift it's
00:23:56 when a society is so

00:48:41 We've saved him ...
00:48:45 He's going to be all right,
00:48:50 They asked for political prisoners.
00:48:53 I could not do such thing.
00:48:56 If they harm him ...
00:48:58 it will be our turn.
00:49:01 That can't help.
00:49:04 You're religious people ...
00:49:08 You do not understand what we do ...
00:49:10 producing, selling,
00:49:14 Capital, to develop the country,
00:49:17 to build

00:49:29 whith all their talk about justice
00:49:33 organizing these people
00:49:35 convincing them that

00:49:43 And so you, Monsignor.
00:49:51 However ...
00:49:54 the Church is a whore.
00:49:56 she would spread her legs
00:50:59 Bring him.
00:51:03 Bring him home.
00:51:17 You are a part of this.
00:52:14 Monsignor?

00:52:28 Who?
00:52:31 He's not here.
00:52:32 I am Father Villez ...
00:52:34 and I would like to see Father Osuna.

00:53:39 they blindfolded me
00:53:43 Why?
00:53:45 They said that I was responsible for
00:53:49 They said that I was in collusion
00:53:53 How could they?
00:53:56 I do know some of them.
00:53:58 But you're not?
00:54:02 You met one of the guerrilla, Monsignor.
00:54:11 Because Zelada died,
00:54:16 Is it yours ...
00:54:20 What did they do?
00:54:22 They used electricity.
00:54:25 I'm just glad that I am a priest
00:54:29 because I don't think
00:54:32 no longer.
00:54:45 Monsignor ...

00:54:55 We are here to get Father Osuna.
00:54:57 Who let you in?
00:55:00 Why was this man
00:55:04 He cannot be released.
00:55:15 Do not have the authority
00:55:17 Who have the authority
00:55:20 I was carrying out instructions.
00:55:23 Instructions to torture him?

00:56:38 There is trouble on many sides,
00:56:42 Even inside the Church,
00:56:46 The priests must be
00:56:49 But there are political implications
00:56:52 We will take care
00:56:55 Now, In a week
00:56:59 The Archbishop has always attended ...
00:57:02 to symbolize
00:57:06 We have not heard from you,
00:57:08 It would be of great help
00:57:11 if you would be present.
00:57:14 How can I bless
00:57:17 in which innocent people are
00:57:25 Unfortunately ...
00:57:28 I found it necessary to
00:57:32 and to close the church
00:57:35 You can't do that.
00:57:37 It is a tragedy.
00:57:40 But let's face it.

01:07:51 He is crucified in you ...
01:07:54 just as surely as he was crucified
01:07:58 on that hill outside of
01:08:03 And you should know ...
01:08:05 that your pain and your suffering ...
01:08:09 like His,

01:09:02 It would be my privilege.
01:09:06 I would like to pick a date.

01:10:55 It as been a month since
01:10:59 Yes?
01:11:01 I am a believer in the theology
01:11:04 and I have worked
01:11:07 That is no sin.
01:11:09 No?
01:11:11 But I have belief in
01:11:14 and no one else.
01:11:17 That is no sin.
01:11:19 Especially in the Archbishop.
01:11:22 I deplored him ...
01:11:24 and...
01:11:26 I laughed at him.
01:11:28 How could I tell him ...
01:11:31 I was wrong.
01:11:38 Just Pray for him.
01:11:40 Let that be your penance.
01:11:44 I absolve you ...
01:11:46 in the name of the Father and of the
01:11:49 Amen.
01:11:50 Thank you, Father.
01:11:58 Thank you, Father.
01:12:14 I am a shepherd who ...
01:12:17 along with his people,
01:12:20 a beautiful and
01:12:25 Our faith requires that
01:12:32 I believe
01:12:35 is the root cause of
01:12:38 From it stems
01:12:42 The Church has to
01:12:46 in those who fight
01:12:48 and defend them ...
01:12:50 and share in their persecution.
01:14:52 Did you wish to see me,
01:15:06 I am disturbed by recent
01:15:09 BE A PATRIOT
01:15:20 Problems that exist has
01:15:24 and you're endangering the situation.
01:15:28 You are losing the people.
01:15:31 Who are those who come to see me at
01:15:37 who fill the Cathedral?
01:15:40 You are losing the people whose support ...
01:15:42 you need
01:15:45 My task is not to run the country.
01:15:49 My task is to prevent my priests
01:15:54 Please ...
01:15:55 Monsignor have patience.
01:16:00 Step back. Wait.
01:16:05 If you stop for a while, I'll talk ...
01:16:09 Things will cool off ...
01:16:12 settle down.
01:16:16 It is your choice.
01:16:20 This past week ...
01:16:22 I wrote a letter to the President
01:16:26 not to send any more
01:16:30 They are only been used to kill
01:17:04 Kneel.
01:18:23 They were demonstrating,
01:18:29 As been shooting until
01:18:32 They asked for you.
01:18:55 Who is in charge?
01:19:04 Where do you think, You're going?
01:19:09 Inside.
01:19:11 No, you're not.
01:19:13 I'm going to get the hostage out.
01:19:16 He's already dead.
01:19:19 Are you sure?
01:19:22 We heard noises, Monsignor.
01:19:24 Screams.
01:19:32 If I get the hostage out,
01:19:35 Will you let the men who
01:19:37 No.
01:19:39 If I get him out, and the men
01:19:46 Will you let them go?
01:19:49 No.
01:19:51 What more do you want?
01:19:57 If they lay down their arms ...
01:20:00 if he is alive, unharmed ...
01:20:03 and that if you are still alive.
01:20:06 -- Do I have your word?
01:20:40 You, Fathers?
01:20:42 Yes, Monsignor.
01:20:47 Is the hostage all right?
01:20:50 Yes
01:20:52 They are holding no one else?
01:20:55 They were only holding him only
01:21:00 What do they want?
01:21:02 A new government.
01:21:14 This one is no different from the last.
01:21:18 The powerful are still
01:21:22 and when the poor
01:21:24 they hire off duty soldiers
01:21:28 This is no solution.
01:21:31 Don't you realize
01:21:36 Last night they killed
01:21:41 And before they raped
01:21:44 they cut out her tongue.
01:22:09 Somebody has to have the courage to say
01:22:16 If the hostage is not released
01:22:20 we will storm the church.
01:22:35 Tell them to let
01:22:39 Show the
01:22:41 He's alive.
01:22:43 Have them to put down their weapons.
01:22:46 If they do,
01:22:50 Guaranteed safe passage.
01:22:52 And you believe them?
01:22:55 They gave me their word.
01:23:04 You have mine.
01:23:42 The hostage is alive and safe.
01:23:44 These people have kept their
01:23:48 Who gave you the authority
01:23:50 - They asked for me.
01:23:53 I told you they asked for me,
01:23:55 This man?
01:23:57 - The hostage is safe, this man promised ...
01:24:03 They were guaranteed
01:24:05 - Who says?
01:24:09 These people are all terrorists.
01:24:12 This man
01:24:14 Arrest him too.
01:25:04 Arnulfo, Cigarette?
01:25:36 Stop.
01:25:38 Stop, In the name of God.
01:25:42 Stop.
01:25:54 We are Human Beings.
01:26:31 We are Human Beings...
01:26:36 We are Human Beings.
01:26:54 Monsignor ...
01:27:00 Obviously there
01:27:07 I will get you out of here in no time.
01:27:13 You're all right?
01:27:18 You must take care of yourself.
01:27:22 I worry for your safety.
01:27:31 You do not fear for your life?
01:27:35 You should.
01:27:37 Yes ..
01:27:41 like any other Salvadoran.
01:27:47 I cannot protect you anymore.
01:27:51 What if you die?
01:27:54 What would happen?
01:28:00 I am not leaving here without
01:29:06 Are you ready?
01:29:10 Are you ready now to accept,
01:29:16 You are a priest.
01:29:19 You believe in God
01:29:25 You used to pray.
01:29:28 I still do.
01:29:32 Then why are you carrying a gun?
01:29:36 How can I not carry one?
01:29:39 Am I going to abandon my people
01:29:41 responsible for
01:29:48 A Guerrilla ...
01:29:51 Is that what you are?
01:29:53 A Communist?
01:30:00 I am a priest ...
01:30:03 who sees Marxists
01:30:05 struggling to liberate
01:30:08 Jesus is part
01:30:10 He will not stand by and watch
01:30:14 So you become like
01:30:19 You wage class warfare,
01:30:22 How could we continue to speak
01:30:25 when they are killing
01:30:29 Even you admit that we have
01:30:33 You're not defending.
01:30:35 You're attacking.
01:30:39 And you lose God,
01:30:50 What else can we do?
01:30:54 You think I want this,
01:31:05 With what you say there will be
01:31:13 I have no choice.
01:32:35 I can't ...
01:32:40 You must ...
01:32:46 I am yours.
01:32:52 Show me the way.
01:33:23 Look, a priest.
01:33:27 Bring him over here.
01:33:38 Monsignor ...
01:33:39 Search him.
01:33:43 Nothing here.
01:33:45 Maybe he's got something underneath.
01:33:47 Let's see.
01:33:49 Take his clothes off.
01:33:52 I have nothing.
01:33:55 Strip him.
01:34:05 Please, okay.
01:34:10 But you are our voice ...
01:34:12 you speak for us.
01:34:45 Let's begin the celebration
01:34:54 In the name of the Father
01:34:57 and the Holy Spirit.
01:35:05 With the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
01:35:08 in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
01:35:11 And the Lord be with you.
01:35:16 Lord, you created us
01:35:19 Lord, have mercy.
01:35:21 Christ you made us
01:35:24 Christ, have mercy.
01:35:27 Lord, you strengthen us,
01:35:31 Lord, have mercy.
01:35:34 We developed our country.
01:35:38 We penetrated its jungle,
01:35:43 We are like the pioneers of the
01:35:47 We do not want,
01:35:51 We only want to have
01:35:55 to live as they do.
01:36:20 The mission of the Church ...
01:36:22 is to identify itself
01:36:28 and to join with them in their
01:36:34 By so doing, the Church
01:36:43 The new government is riddled
01:36:47 The Priests are
01:36:52 All the unions
01:36:57 Never feel guilty for having
01:37:00 They have declared war
01:37:05 Those who fight them, they will
01:37:10 I hope that this call
01:37:14 does not further harden the hearts
01:37:18 but will move them to
01:37:22 You are the principle protagonist
01:37:27 On you depends in
01:37:30 the end of violence.
01:37:32 There is no clinging to
01:37:36 This is a new age...
01:37:39 an age in which
01:37:43 may live in peace,
01:37:49 I like to make an appeal
01:37:53 to the men in the army.
01:37:57 Brothers ...
01:38:00 each one of you
01:38:05 We are the same people.
01:38:07 The farmers and peasants
01:38:11 are your own brothers
01:38:16 When you hear the words
01:38:18 telling you to kill ...
01:38:21 Think instead in the words of God.
01:38:26 "Thou shall not kill".
01:38:33 No soldier is obliged to
01:38:36 contrary to the law of
01:38:40 In His name...
01:38:43 and in the name of our
01:38:47 who had suffered so much ...
01:38:49 and whose laments
01:38:54 I implore you ...
01:38:57 I beg you ...
01:39:00 I order you ...
01:39:04 Stop the repression.
01:40:51 Archbishop Romero was murdered
01:40:54 He had spoken
01:40:57 Many chose
01:41:01 As a result,
01:41:05 more than 60,000
01:41:11 But the struggle for peace
01:41:14 justice and
01:41:28 I often been threatened with death.
01:41:32 If they kill me ...
01:41:34 I shall rise
01:41:38 Let my blood be
01:41:41 in the sign that,
01:41:46 A Bishop will die ...
01:41:48 but the Church of God ...
01:41:50 which is the people ...
01:41:53 will never perish.
