He studied and received a master's degree in chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, but later decided to become a Jesuit priest and studied at the Jesuit seminary of Villa Devoto. He studied liberal arts in Santiago, Chile, and in 1960 earned a degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires. Between 1964 and 1965 he was a teacher of literature and psychology at Inmaculada High School in the province of Santa Fe, and in 1966 he taught the same courses at the prestigious Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires. In 1967, he returned to his theological studies and was ordained a priest on December 13, 1969. After his perpetual profession as a Jesuit in 1973, he became master of novices at the Seminary of Villa Barilari in San Miguel. Later that same year, he was elected superior of the Jesuit province of Argentina and Uruguay. In 1980, he returned to San Miguel as a teacher at the Jesuit school, a job rarely taken by a former provincial superior.

  • Here Ideas Are Genuineh Wdangerous
    BY FRANK SMYTH AN SALVADOR-Several months ago a friend in­ vi ted me to his sociology class. "Come on," he said, "we're going to see a movie."

With a Coke and popcorn in hand, I felt as close to home as a foreigner can feel in El Salvador. EntreAmigos-"Among Friends"­ is how the movie title was translated into Spanish. Readers may be famil­ iar with the plot: two young girls meet by chance in California and build a friendship that stretches to lew York and lasts for life. When the lights came on, a tall man with a long greying beard took his place at the front of the class. He spoke in a deep raspy voice. "What does it mean to be friends?" he asked paternally. "What does it mean to have a friendship?" But the discussion soon took its own track. "What is the meaning of friendship," asked one woman, "in the midst ofwar?"

RESUMEN 1. El 16 de noviembre de 1989 la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (en adelante "la Comisión" o "la CIDH") recibió de la organización no gubernamental Américas Watch (en adelante "Americas Watch" o "los peticionarios") una petición en la que se denuncia la violación por parte de la República de El Salvador (en adelante el "Estado salvadoreño", el "Estado" o "El Salvador") de la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos (en adelante la "Convención Americana") en perjuicio de seis sacerdotes jesuitas y dos mujeres ejecutadas extrajudicialmente por agentes del Estado. Conforme a la denuncia, los hechos ocurrieron en la madrugada de ese mismo día, en la residencia de los jesuitas ubicada en el predio de la Universidad Centroamericana "José Simeón Cañas" (en adelante "la UCA") en San Salvador.

  • Paying the Price: Ignacio Ellacuría and the Murdered Jesuits of El Salvador
    FOREWORD I remember the moment when I learned of Ignacio Ellacuría’s murder as vividly as I do the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the death of Ernesto “Che” Guevara. This, I suspect, pigeonholes me as a member of a certain class and generation of Latin Americans. This cultural identity may also explain my reaction upon hearing the news—from a Guatemalan diplomat, in the ornate Council Chamber of the Pan-American Union in Washington, D.C. What shot into my mind were the words of the fascist general Millin Astray at a rally during the Spanish Civil War: “¡Viva la Muerte! ¡Abajo la Inteligencia! “ As the U.N. secretary-general’s representative, I devoted the better part of 1990 and 1991 to conducting the negotiations between the government of El Salvador and the Frente Farubundo Martí para la Liberución Nacional (FMLN) that culminated in the comprehensive peace accord signed on January 16, 1992 at Chapultepec Castle, in Mexico City. The negotiations had an ambitious, four-fold purpose: to end the armed conflict, promote democratization, guarantee unrestricted respect for human rights, and reunify Salvadoran society. El Salvador has come a long way since then. As part of a radical reform involving unprecedented constitutional amendments, the Salva- doran armed forces have been restricted to defense from external threats, and deprived of their previous roles in public security matters and as the ultimate arbiter of national political life. They have been purged of Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this foreword do not necessarily reflect the views or position of the United Nations.

  • 'Be a Patriot: Kill a Priest'
    ‘BE A PATRIOT: KILL A PRIEST’ Michael Campbell-Johnston The slogan that gives this article its title, which was daubed on the walls of El Salvador’s capital during its civil war, took on a terrible actuality when the entire Jesuit staff of the University of Central America, except Jon Sobrino, who happened to be abroad, were murdered. Who were these priests? Why were they killed? And what is their legacy? The man who was at that time Jesuit superior of the British province, and was himself in El Salvador for three years before being called to London, answers these questions. This article was originally published in the British Catholic weekly, The Tablet, a few days after the murders.1 N SOME WAYS THE SIX JESUITS who were killed in El Salvador last I week were typical of the other 65 working in the country, and of Jesuits anywhere else for that matter. Five of them had been sent to Central America as ‘missionaries’ from Spain during the early years of their training. Ignacio Ellacuría left his native Vizcaya as a second-year novice at the age of eighteen. During the forty years he had lived and worked in the region he became identified with its people and problems. Like missionaries elsewhere, he adopted local citizenship. The same was true for Segundo Montes, superior of the small community where they lived, and for Ignacio Martín-Baró, at 47 the youngest of the group. The other two Spaniards had mainly worked outside El Salvador, in one of the other five countries which make up the Jesuit Province of Central America.

    THE JESUIT MARTYRS OF EL SALVADOR The six Jesuits who were killed by a military death squad on the campus of the Jesuit University of El Salvador (UCA) on November 16 th 20 years ago were typical of many of the others working in the country at the time. Five had been sent to Central America as “missionaries” from Spain during the early years of their training. Ignacio Ellacuría left his native Vizcaya as a second-year novice at the age of 18. During the 40 years he lived and worked in the region, he became identified with its people and problems. Like missionaries elsewhere, he adopted local citizenship. The same was true for Segundo Montes, superior of the small community where they lived, and for Ignacio Mártin-Baró, at 47 the youngest of the group. The other two Spaniards had mainly worked outside El Salvador, in one of the other five countries which make up the Jesuit Province of Central America. Amando López had been rector of the Central American University in Managua, Nicaragua, from 1979 to 1982 and had only been teaching in the theology faculty at the UCA for six years. Juan Ramón Moreno was an even more recent newcomer from Nicaragua where he had edited Diakonía, a bi-monthly review of spirituality. Before that he had been novice master in Panama of the then vice-province from 1968 t0 1973. The exception was Joaquín López y López, at 71 the oldest member of the group, who was born and bred in El Salvador. For many years he taught in the Jesuit secondary school in San Salvador, the Externado San José.

  • The Resurrection of the Dead by John Gillman Ph.D
    Lord, let your face shine on us. -Psalm 4 The Resurrection of the Dead by John Gillman Ph.D. Every Sunday when professing our faith in unison, we come to the last phrase in the Nicene Creed: “I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.” Yes, of course, who would not look forward to a better world, indeed a much better world than the one we now know. But it is that prior expression, “resurrection of the dead” that I find perplexing. The Catechism puts it more graphically, “We believe in the true resurrection of this flesh” (1017). Our lived experience seems to belie such an outlandish belief. All around us we notice that living beings, including human bodies gradually age, eventually die, and then deteriorate. St. Paul was seemingly mocked when he spoke about the resurrection of dead to the sophisticated Corinthians who objected, to paraphrase: “Really Paul! Would you explain to us your ridiculous claim that the bodies of the dead are raised?” (1 Corinthians 15:35). (continued on page 3) Welcome Most Reverend Robert W.
