"The church is obliged by its evangelical mission to Demand Structural changes that favor the reign of God and a more just and comradely way of life. Unjust social structures are the roots of all violence and disturbances. … Those who benefit from obsolete structures react selfishly to any kind of change."
- Archbishop Oscar Romero, November 1979. Today is the anniversary of his martyrdom.
