…S.J., remarked, “Our reality here continues to be one of great inequality. Today, most of the rebellion against this reality is what we can call a primitive one, a savage one.” In today’s El Salvador, political violence has largely been replaced by criminal violence, much of it associated with gangs known locally as maras.

By Jason C. Bivins

…sident of the United States understands Christianity as a “get out of jail free” card used to freely exercise open bigotry, it can seem pretty conclusive that power has prevailed over justice. But consider some other words of Daniel Berrigan’s: “Redeem the times! The times are inexpressibly evil. Christians pay conscious, indeed religious tribute, to Caesar and Mars . . .
