Adam and Eve's Friary not given permission to hold Mass for Romero- Irish Times.
The 24th of March 2007 was the 27th anniversary of the death of
Archbishop Oscar Romero who was murdered in San Salvador at
the orders of Roberto D'Aubisson.
For the first time in 26 years the annual mass to commerorate him was refused permission
in the friary of Adam and Eve's Church in Dublin.
Adam and Eve's Church is a Franciscan Basillica on the Liffey quays
just opposite the Four Courts and has educated many Missionaries who
work in all parts of the world.
Before Romero was murdered he was denounced by the Catholic church and ignored
by the Carter Regime.

[Adding a little memoriam note here- the pictures of the shooting and riots
were the first political memory of overseas news that I am aware of. The black and white
images are engrained. ]
Romero had spoken about the injustices in El Salvador and San Salvador
with great bravery and it cost him his life.
RIP.
