Archbishop in El Salvador Opposes Investigation

The massacre of six Jesuit priests, Elba and Celina Ramos has not found peace.  I believe that this continues to come up because the truth has not been acknowledged. Unfortunately, there is no investigation into these killings.  It is disappointing to me that Archbishop Lacalle has not supported an investigation into these atrocious acts.  In the National Catholic Reporter, Michael Humphrey writes:

Nov. 17 that Archbishop Fernando Sáenz Lacalle spoke out against a criminal complaint filed last week in the Spanish High Court naming 14 members of the Salvadoran military and the nation’s president, accused of masterminding and covering up the assassination of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her 16-year-old daughter at a San Salvador Jesuit university in November 1989. Lacalle was quoted, “El Salvador’s affairs should be resolved in El Salvador.”

I hope that the Spanish High Court and the Spanish NGOs and US NGOs will continue to advocate for the truth to come out.
