Oscar Romero on critical and active Christians

The great need today is for Christians who are active and critical, who don’t accept situations without analysing them inwardly and deeply. We no longer want masses of people like those who have been trifled with for so long. We want persons like fruitful fig trees, who can say yes to justice and life, regardless of the circumstances.

Fr. Oscar Romero, March 9, 1980 (two weeks before he was assassinated)
