this is good news. it was terrible when i read about her death. I don't know if you read, "Martyr of the Amazon," by Roseanne Murphy, but it is a good book about her life. Greed and oppression against the poor is part of this "filthy rotten system" as Dorthy Day said referring to capitalism. Stang is a martyr along with Arch Bishop oscar romero and the Salvadorian missionaries that we killed years ago. Many people suffer and die for justice and are examples of the ultimate price paid for truth. Martin Luther King jr. is another one. Evil kills that which reveals it....that is its only response when it sees what it is. Thanks again for the news. Jon Sobrino is a jesuit theologian that has written some powerful books about justice for the poor. Especially, "No Salvation outside the Poor".
