One of the Lesser Known Facts about Oscar Romero…

…is that he was a fan of the dreaded albino assassin cult, Opus Dei.  That doesn’t fit the NPR/National Catholic Reporter narrative of oppressive right wing hierarchical Church vs. plucky rebel alliance Liberation Theologian.  Speaking of Romero, a reader writes:

I thought you might enjoy seeing a music video that we just produced on Oscar Romero.  It is part of a new CD release. The singer is a deacon, Michael Glen Bell, and the film maker is Owen Thomas. The Project is the subject of of a three part podcast by Bishop Christopher Coyne of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis which you may link to here: http://thoughtsofacatholicbishop.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-martyrs-project-podcast-part-1.html, and of a wonderful article in Canada’s Catholic Register http://www.catholicregister.org/arts/movie-news/item/15749-video-brings-awful-memories-flooding-back
