Slain· archbishop's spirit lives CIiNNOINNATI -(NC) - The spirit of Archbishop Oscar Ro mero of San Salvador lives in the hearts of Salvadorans five years after his assassination, Francis can Father Jack'Wintz writes in the March issue of St. Anthony Messenger. Father Wintz wrote aibout Archbishop Romer~'s death after visiting El Salvador and inter viewing people who had worked with the archbishop. The arch bishop, who spoke out repeated ly in defense 'of the poor, was murdered March 24, 1980 while celebrating Mass. Father Wintz, associate editor of, the . magazine, wrote that' Archbishop Romero "seems des tined to rise up not only in the Salvadoran people but also in people struggling for justice all around the world." "The archbishop is becoming . a model not simply for a new kind of bishop but for a new kind of church and a new kind of Christian as well - namely one who is, more and more, see ing the' wOl'ld from the perspec tive of the poor and in solid rity with them," Father Wintz said. He spoke to Jesuit Father James Brockman, a Amel'ican in El Salvador who has w.ritten about the archbishop. Father Brockman agreed thai Archbish op .Romero's martyrdom has borne 'fruit in S'lm Salvador aid around the world. "You can see that he lives in the hearts of many people. He has made a profound impression on this counry. A:nd since his death the influence has extend ed to. other countries," Father Brockman told Father Wintz. At first the archbishop's death was seen as a victory for those who had opposed him, Father Brockman said. "They had elim inated their enemy and the sheep were scattered for Ii time. "-But his death was also the turning point that made him known to he rest of the world. His death really shocked people around the' world ...,....and is now ~eading many to know more albout him," Father Brockman said.
Msgr. Riicardo Urioste, who had been Archbishop Romero's vicar general, told Father Win"tz the archbishop's spirit and search for peace lives on in cur ' rent peace efforts. He said he believes Arch bishop Arturo Rivera Damas of San Salvador, Archbishop Ro· mero's successor, has been in spired by the martyred arch . bishop. Msgr. Urioste said Archbishop Romero, if he were alive, would advise U.S. Catholics to "be in terested in knowing the reality of this country - that social injustice is the cause of ourprob lems. And don't supply arms to either side." "Tell people in the United States. not to be satisfied with their ihigh standard of living, but that they must see the bond they have with suffering humanity, , They 'belong to the same church that suffers here and should be deeply concerned about it," he said. .

W omen~s pastoral Continued from page one Washington archdiocese order eda Catholic parish, to witli draw the offer of its facilities. During the bishops' committee hearings the Women's Ordina tion Conference announced to the press that 10 U.S. bishops were members, although it ~ould not release any names. The bishops' committee, head ed by Bishop Joseph Imesch of Joliet" Ill., was formed after the U.S. bishops voted in November 1983 to write a pastoral letter on women. in the church and society. It held last week's hear ings to ask representatives of major national organizations of lay women and nuns what topics they thought the pastoral 'letter should cover and what approach . es it should take. _ About half the 'women's groups testifying urged ,the bishops to write a pastoral on sexism or on patriarchalism rather than on women. With minor variations, all argued generally that it
would be presumptuous or fool ish for all-male bishops to write ·a pastoral letter on women. The Leadership Conference of Women Religious. representing the superiors of most women reo ligious in the United States, ar gued that the pastoral should be delayed until a theology of wo men is more advanced in the church. Dolores Leckey, director of the U.S. bishops' national secretari at for the laity, suggested that a pastoral letter on women would be incomplete without a com panion pastoral on men, while black and Hispanic women urged the bishops to tackle racism, sexism and other "isms" to gether, arguing that these are intertwined. Mary Ann Schwab, represent ing the National Council of Cath· olic Women, expressed hope that the pastoral would help enable Catholic 'women,to "fill the grow. ing ministries needed to reach the modern world."
