San Salvador (Agenzia Fides) – The interview given by Cardinal Gregorio Rosa Chvez, auxiliary bishop of San Salvador to Vatican News continues to make the news in El Salvador. In the debate, the leader of the Nuevas Ideas party, Walter Araujo, was critical. He threatened the Cardinal with causing another political “earthquake”. In this context, the politician stressed that he did not agree with the statements of the high representative of the Catholic Church on the state of the country. In the recent past, Araujo had repeatedly criticized representatives of the Church who, like Cardinal Rosa Chvez, denounced an injustice prevailing in El Salvador, and quoted his former party leader and founder Roberto d’Abuisson, the clergyman of the Catholic Church liked to say “red priests (communists) in black cassocks.” Asked by Vatican News to Cardinal Rosa Chvez: “How do you interpret the current socio-political situation in El Salvador? he replied:“ It is a difficult question at the moment. Since we are in a moment of political earthquake, we can say that we were in the midst of war in the 1986 earthquake, and Archbishop Rivera Damascus used a very nice image at the time when he said : “There are two earthquakes, one of nature and the other created by humans”. With two wooden beams from a destroyed house as a cross, as a symbol of a country that has hope in Christ. We must give people hope in the face of a tragedy as great as the war and the earthquake. “This causes a lot of suffering in the world and also among us. And how it hurts every day to see people in agony. or be intubated, as they say here. Tied to a machine with many threads. And many times they end up in a cemetery to be buried under strict anti-Covid protocol. And no one is allowed to come near the And the other earthquake is also political today, the country is currently in a great political upheaval, a very serious political crisis, because we currently do not have a functioning rule of law and the independence of powers is not guaranteed, we have no leader, whom we can trust, we have no law to obey. There is fear that there is no law and order, so there is neither is there any real justice ”. (EC) (Agenzia Fides, 08/09/2021)
