In the movie Romero, Romero, the main character whom is also the archbishop, portrays many examples of the three virtues, prudence, justice, and fortitude. However, there are times shown in the film in which Romero does indeed lack these virtues. El Salvador is put in a very tough place in which many people are being killed by the guerillas for standing up for what they believe in. It is believed to be Romero’s duty to help put an end to this and it is his goal to make his people, and the people of the church, feel comfortable sharing their beliefs.

Óscar Romero was a Roman Catholic priest that stood up for the poor and injustice in the troubled nation of El Salvador. In the early stages of his life, Romero had entered a boarding school for priests at the age of thirteen. Then he went to the national boarding school in San Salvador. He finished his studies at the Gregorian University in Rome, and was appointed a priest in Rome in 1942. Although Romero wanted to acquire a doctorate in theology, he had to go home to El Salvador in 1944 due to a lack of priests. He initially served as pastor, but because of his outstanding talent, he was marked for greater responsibilities. In 1970, he became the auxiliary bishop for San Salvador. As Romero began to rise as a notable Catholic bishop, a

“I will not tire of declaring that if we truly want an effective end to the violence, we must eliminate the violence that lies at the root of all violence: structural violence, social injustice, the exclusion of citizens from the management of the country, repression,” Oscar Romero said in his sermon on the 23rd September 1979. Six months later, Romero was shot and killed.

Oscar Romero was born on August 15, 1917 in El Salvador. He was appointed Archbishop of El Salvador on February 23, 1977. When Romero was appointed as an Archbishop many priests were disappointed, especially those openly aligning with Marxism. On 12 March 1977, Rutilio Grande, a progressive Jesuit priest and personal friend of Romero who had been creating self-reliance groups among the poor campesinos, was assassinated do to what he was doing to help out the poor people in the community. His death had a profound impact on Romero, who later stated, "When I looked at Rutilio lying there dead I thought, 'If they have killed him for doing what he did, then I too have to walk the same path'". Romero urged the government to investigate, but they

The salvadoran military ruled for decades until finally the death of an archbishop Oscar Romero was assassinated during mass in 1980, which fueled political violence and led to the civil war. To make matters worse, at Oscar Romero’s funeral, many came to mourn and were attacked by snipers on the roofs, killing 42 and wounding 200. In December 1980, four American nuns were killed by the military even though they framed 5 salvdorans, 4:5 spoke out and told the press they were ordered to by the Salvadoran military. The United States president, Jimmy Carter,reacted by cutting off aid to El Salvador. After this , The Farabundo

He was first influenced when he discovered that children were dying because parents couldn't pay for simple necessities he then started to help the poor but he knew that wasn't enough. “poor shouldn't just receive handouts from the church the government should also provide” was what he would say when he first started this movement to have more government help.

Romero made a really important decision when he decided to help out the poor because he now became an enemy against the government. Romero grew immensely throughout the entire movie, his love for the people and his conscience (soul, ego) grew as well. Our notes tell us that love requires work it is not just a feeling you have. Romero did a lot work to find his love; he also made a lot of sacrifices. Some of the sacrifices that Romero made were, going into the church when it was taken over by the military Romero still went in knowing that he may be killed, but I think the biggest sacrifice that Romero gave his people was that he gave up his life so that maybe someday they could be free. This resembles Jesus very much, because Jesus gave up his life so that all of our sins would be taken away. Romero is a very brave man for doing this, I don’t know many people who would give their lives up so others could be free this is a very non-selfish act. In my opinion there should be more people like this on the earth because there are so many problems that the world has to deal with in this day of age. I think that Oscar Anglo Romero y Glades was a great man for dieing for something that he truly believed in. Romero may have hesitated for a while on what to do, but in the long run what he did to help out the country of El Salvador was a major impact for the government to change.

...his anguish was complicated by diarrhea and green vomit, he became disoriented and suffered from sudden fainting spells, and his mother was terrified because his condition did not resemble the turmoil of love so much as the devastation of cholera. Florentino Ariza's godfather, an old homeopathic practi­tioner who had been Transito Ariza's confidant ever since her days as a secret mistress, was also alarmed at first by the patient's condition, because he had the weak pulse, the hoarse breathing, and the pale perspiration of a dying man.
