"The Modern Martyr: The Story of Oscar Romero" by Liam Gearon recounts the life of Archbishop Oscar Romero, who became a powerful voice for social justice in El Salvador during the late 20th century. As the political climate grew increasingly violent and oppressive, Romero courageously spoke out against human rights abuses and the plight of the poor. His unwavering commitment to justice led to his assassination while celebrating Mass in 1980. Through Romero's compelling story, Gearon explores themes of faith, sacrifice, and the pursuit of peace, highlighting how one individual's moral convictions can spark significant social change.
