Ignacio Ellacuria

Book review: St. Anselm defined theology as "faith seeking understanding." In John Van Hagen's Agnostic at the Altar, the author might define his fascinating theological journey as "doubt seeking understanding."

We say: Remarkably, Archbishop Óscar Romero and Pope Paul VI shared a martyrdom that built the bridge that supports a single trajectory, inspired by the Holy Spirit, that will renew the church and reveal again the mystery of Jesus as the engine of history. 

A close ally of the man who ordered the assassination of Salvadoran Archbishop Òscar Romero declined the opportunity to represent El Salvador's government at Romero's canonization at the Vatican Oct. 14.
