Pope John Paul II was not a coward, and he did not "support the elites and killers." He lived first hand the depradations of a communist government in his native Poland. The Pope's job is to teach God's Truth, not the everchanging whims of "popular movements." If you want to see the behavior of "popular movements," read in the Gospels about Jesus's trial before Pontius Pilate. The "people" were shouting for Jesus to be crucified.
Hmm interesting interpretation of the gospel. I guess it was really contempt Jesus was showing for the "people" not compassion or anger towards the corruption of the leaders and the injustice perpetuated by the the wealthy. Yeah I guess it wasn't a "popular movement" after all.
Oh and that was a fascist government which tried to appeal to the masses through the popularity of socialism (but it was not). Look up what socialism actually is. It is NOT rule by a powerful elite.
@froggy8grande As a Catholic I have much shame that this man was neglected while Pope John Paul II, an honorable man in most respects, lounged in Rome. Also that our pro life position seems only to extend to abortion and most Catholics don't say a damn thing about 99 percent of the unjust wars waged on this planet.
Lamentablemente, el Papa Karol Wojtyla, quien había sufrido el horror de los nazis en su Polonia natal, pasó a ser un anticomunista feroz, hasta el punto de que finalmente junto a Gorbachev derrumbaron el comunismo; pero, ¿quién ha sido más perverso para Latinoamérica? Acaso el comunismo de Cuba? O la sociedad de consumo capitalista de USA que, literalmente, ha masacrado a los pueblos latinoamericanos y hundido en la miseria a la gran masa empobrecida? Oh my JesusChrist!
@LoricaLady I wept when I first saw this scene. The way Julia sighs so deeply as if his breath is being taken away while the Holy Spirit enters is so authentic that you forget he's acting (or maybe he wasn't). Should've won more critical acclaim for this role than he did.

Thanks for posting this. I saw it many years ago and the most moving moment for me, as then, is when he kneels and prays. A real prayer.

El actor que hace de Roberto D´aubisson es Eddie Velez que hacia de Franky Santana en Los Magnificos.

Romero was a courageous, moral person.
John Paul 2 was a coward to support the Central American elites and killers over the popular movements.

@ppbbs88 It's said that later on John Paul felt remorse for what he ignored.

We saw this movie in my Geography class and there is an essay on it on our final (or we could do it on a book we read.
But for once when I'm on Youtube I can finally say "I'm studying!" lol
