Como Obispo de la Diócesis de Santiago de María (1974-1977) “comenzó a ver de cerca la realidad de pobreza y miseria en que vivían la mayor parte de campesinos”. En 1977 fue nombrado Arzobispo de San Salvador en medio de un ambiente de injusticias, represión e incertidumbre. Creó una oficina de Derechos Humanos y abrió las puertas de la Iglesia para dar refugio a los oprimidos. En esos años Moseñor Romero cuestionaba el por qué los medios de comunicación estaban en manos de los poderosos: era su voz que se oía y, a través de la televisión, eran sus imágenes las que se veían. Y si las imágenes de los oprimidos eran difundidas por estos medios, era para criminalizarlos y deshumanizarlos. Dedicó especial atención a su forma de comunicación más directa: sus homilías dominicales en la Catedral, tomando también en consideración los aportes de las muchas cartas y visitantes que recibía. Las homilías eran transmitidas por la estación de radio de la Arquidiócesis: YSAX, y alcanzaban todos los rincones del país con sus denuncias contra la violencia de las fuerzas militares del gobierno y de los grupos armados de izquierda. Para Gustavo Andújar, expresidente de SIGNIS, fue inspiradora la iniciativa de aprobar la propuesta de nombrar a Monseñor Romero Patrono de nuestra Asociación, lo cual responde al ideario de SIGNIS: “nosotros organizamos, coordinamos, creamos redes, divulgamos, informamos, orientamos, todo con el objetivo central de inspirar, de animar, a nuestros miembros y a todos los destinatarios de nuestro trabajo de comunicadores.” 2 – SIGNIS Media – N°3/2017 Editorial SIGNIS MEDIA Facing the Future publication trimestrielle éditée The echoes of the World Congress in Quebec invite us to reflect on the present and the par l’Association catholique mondiale future of communication, Catholic communicators and our association.

They spent some days in Czestochowa Diocese in the small town of Radonsko, experiencing Polish hospitality and visiting the shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa.

Claremont Mosque condemns killing of Catholic Priest PRESS STATEMENT – 26 JULY 2016 CMRM Condemns Inhumane Killing of Catholic Priest The Claremont Main Road Mosque (CMRM) congregation strongly con- demns the brutal killing of an 85 year-old Catholic priest by two ISIS/Da`ish supporters during a Mass at a Church in Normandy, France. The inhumane and gruesome killing of the elderly Father Jacques Hamel and the sacrili- geous violation of a sacred prayer space bears testimony to the merciless ideology of Da`ish. It is apparent that Da`ish is hell-bent on fuelling a reli- gious war between Muslims and Christians. However, their war is a war on humanity and our response should reflect a deep respect for the sanctity of all human life. This tragic incident should spur us to redouble our efforts at reaching out to each other across religious divides. Our thoughts and prayers are with the congregation of the Church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray and the Catholic Church at large.

  • France 2016 International Religious Freedom Report
    FRANCE 2016 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution and the law protect the right of individuals to choose, change, and practice their religion. The government investigated and prosecuted numerous crimes and other actions against religious groups, including anti-Semitic and anti- Muslim violence, hate speech, and vandalism. The government continued to enforce laws prohibiting face coverings in public spaces and government buildings and the wearing of “conspicuous” religious symbols at public schools, which included a ban on headscarves and Sikh turbans. The highest administrative court rejected the city of Villeneuve-Loubet’s ban on “clothes demonstrating an obvious religious affiliation worn by swimmers on public beaches.” The ban was directed at full-body swimming suits worn by some Muslim women. ISIS claimed responsibility for a terrorist attack in Nice during the July 14 French independence day celebration that killed 84 people without regard for their religious belief. President Francois Hollande condemned the attack as an act of radical Islamic terrorism. Prime Minister (PM) Manuel Valls cautioned against scapegoating Muslims or Islam for the attack by a radical extremist group. The government extended a state of emergency until July 2017. The government condemned anti- Semitic, anti-Muslim, and anti-Catholic acts and continued efforts to promote interfaith understanding through public awareness campaigns and by encouraging dialogues in schools, among local officials, police, and citizen groups. Jehovah’s Witnesses reported 19 instances in which authorities interfered with public proselytizing by their community. There were continued reports of attacks against Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The government, as well as Muslim and Jewish groups, reported the number of anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim incidents decreased by 59 percent and 58 percent respectively from the previous year to 335 anti-Semitic acts and 189 anti-Muslim acts.

  • ISIS/Daesh and Boko Haram Ewelina Ochab and Kelsey Zorzi REPORT
    Effects of Terrorism on Enjoyment of Human Rights: ISIS/Daesh and Boko Haram Ewelina Ochab and Kelsey Zorzi REPORT 23 September 2016 Executive Summary Recent years have witnessed the emergence of powerful terrorist groups, notably, ISIS/Daesh in the Middle East and Boko Haram in West Africa. Despite various steps taken to combat them, the terrorist groups continue unchecked by effective deterrence or punishment. While Boko Haram’s atrocities are being considered by the Office of the Prosecutor to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in a preliminary examination, ISIS/Daesh remains unchallenged by either the UN Security Council or the ICC. The international community’s failure to prosecute ISIS/Daesh may suggest that a new international mechanism is needed. This report focuses on two main terrorist groups, namely, ISIS/Daesh in the Middle East and beyond, and Boko Haram in Nigeria and West Africa. The report presents the scope of the atrocities committed by both terrorist groups and the effect of the atrocities on the enjoyment of human rights in the affected regions, and beyond. The report further outlines the challenges faced by the affected States in responding to the threats posed by terrorism and proposes best practices to go forward.

God “wants us to discover that each of us is called – in a variety of ways – to something grand, and that our lives should not grow entangled in the nets of an ennui that dulls the heart,” the pope said. “Every vocation is a summons not to stand on the shore, nets in hand, but to follow Jesus on the path he has marked out for us, for our own happiness and for the good of those around us,” he said in his mes- sage for the 2019 World Day of Prayer for Vocations.

  • Post-Charlie: Community, Representation, and Terrorism’S Foreclosures
    1 H-France Salon Volume 9 (2017), Issue 1, #1 Post-Charlie: Community, Representation, and Terrorism’s Foreclosures Michael O’Riley The Colorado College On 14 July 2016 Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, a thirty-one-year-old delivery-truck driver raised in northeast Tunisia who held a French residence permit, drove a nineteen-ton refrigeration truck into a crowd gathered to watch fireworks on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. Bouhlel killed eighty-four people and injured over 300 others. According to French Interior Minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, Bouhlel was a recent, but fervent, ISIS disciple. The Islamic State subsequently claimed responsibility for the massacre. Nearly two weeks later, the Nice attack was followed by another in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray where a priest, Jacques Hamel, was killed in church while saying mass. Like the Nice attack, the Saint-Etienne-du Rouvray attack was also claimed by the Islamic State; it was carried out by two nineteen-year-old men, Adel Kermiche, a resident of Saint- Etienne-du-Rouvray, and Abdel-Malik Nabil Petitjean from Aix-les-Bains. Immediately following the Bastille Day attack, President Hollande announced he would seek to extend the state of emergency that had been declared following the Paris attacks in November for another three months. Although that declaration was due to be lifted on 26 July, the French government instead extended the state of emergency for another six months while expanding already broadened police powers of search, detention, surveillance, and identity checks.
