Not any and every priest has been persecuted, not any and every institution has been attacked. That part of the church has been attacked and persecuted that put itself on the side of the people and went to the people's defense. Here again we find the same key to understanding the persecution of the church: the poor.
—Óscar Romero, Speech at the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium, Feb. 2, 1980.
