They were murdered for many reasons. The general reason was because they were outspoken on the injustices in the country. They were accused of being communists, Marxists, and even atheists. There were also accused of being liberationists, an accusation that was true for all and specifically true for Ellacuría who taught and was a huge global leader in the ideas of liberation philosophy. All of this led to the night when “about thirty men dressed in military uniform,” took “three of the Jesuits out into the garden and tortured and machinegunned them there,” and murdered the others in the house. There were a total of six Jesuits murdered that night to

Christopher Columbus, an italian born navigator, commandeered a daring search for India in the name of Spain. His mission was to spread Catholicism and open a Western sea route to trade with India. Columbus accidentally sailed upon what is now Cuba and Hispaniola. Taking advantage of this unexpected occurrence, Columbus brought the Word of God to the heathens living on the islands. Of course, this account before is a grotesque misconception of what was to follow Columbus’s embarkation of the Caribbean and North America: the largest genocide in history. David Stannard’s book, The American Genocide, is an accurate depiction of the events.
The seminary was in a fury of activity. Some had distributed pamphlets supposedly penned by Don Carlos, calling for all faithful Spaniards to rise in support for his claim to the throne. The bishop of Toledo had announced his support for the Don’s claim, there was even a rumor that the Pope would soon announce his support as well.
James Seager's article The Mission and Historical Missions: Film and the Writing of History and Jesuit Ruiz de Montoya's The Spiritual Conquest journal entries allows us as historians to gain insight of the actuality of event that occurred in Guarani’s community with the Spanish and Portuguese occupiers; which the the movie The Mission loosely portrays. Seager’s work makes consistent point on how the movie misrepresent the Guarani people, by taking action to point-out actual historical events versus that fictitious events in the movie. Montoya’s entries demonstrates some historically accurate, but it is not a credible source itself; as it is shrouded in the Jesuits own bias. The purpose of this journal entry is to elaborate on how these two
A little about his religion is they have a pope that leads their whole church, but there are bishops in their church buildings so the pope doesn’t have to go to all the Roman Catholic churches all over the world at the time they start their meetings to talk to the people that goes to that church building. There’s a prophet that lead of over another religion that teaches about Christ just like Roman Catholics and that also has bishops so the prophet doesn’t have to go to all the churches of his religion . Roman Catholic believes that Jesus was resurrected but not that he can forgive you of your sins. Roman Catholic don’t believe that if you sin that you have eternal life or go to heaven. Juan Gerardi was ordained a priest after the second world war. He came back from the United states to his hometown of Guatemala to be ordained a priest on December 21, 1946.Juan Gerardi attended the school for clergy's or a particular church for his religion which is Roman Catholic. Which is also called a synod. Synod is also made up of another division of a particular churches. Such as Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and many other religions. There are other religions that have schools for their own religion. Not only does Roman Catholics have a school, but others religions have schools for their specific religion and belief. The religion you are in, you can go to that school or college. You can also go to a community college. But if you go to a college that teaches your religion, it is more spiritual than going to a community

On November 16, 1989, eight people were assassinated by Salvadoran military death squads at the University of Central America(UCA).They were killed by the U.S. funded right-wing government in power when they suspected that the eight were acting in subversion. These people included Ignacio Ellacuría, Ignacio Martín Baró, Segundo Montes, Joaquín López y López, Amando López, Juan Ramón Moreno, Elba Ramos, and her daughter Celina. Twenty-eight years later, these people have lived on to become martyrs in the catholic Jesuit tradition. These Jesuits advocated for human rights and also talked about having a “faith that does justice”. In this way, the martyrs were some of best examples of people who integrated Grad-at-Grad principles into their daily lives.
“The moment I understood her hatred, my family had not been personally hurt by Trujillo just as before losing my baby. Jesus had not taken anything away from me. There was the Perozos, not a man left in that family and Martinez Reyna and his wife murdered in their bed and thousands of Haitians murdered at the border. Making the river they say still red. I had heard but not believed. How could our all loving father let us suffer? I looked up challenging him and the two faces merged” (Alvarez 53).

Romero today is looked at like El Salvador’s equivalent of Martin Luther King Jr.
