Super Martyrio is proud to announce that it has
become a ‘blog partner’ of Daily Theology.
In practical terms, this means we will occasionally repost one another’s
posts or will simultaneously post things in both blogs. In a deeper sense, this partnering is a
recognition of our mutual interest in exploring theological issues in relation
to human experience—in this case, the life of Oscar Romero and the poor—to
approach topics through various theological disciplines, and to promote good
blogging practices in research, writing, and reporting.
For the
readers of both blogs, I hope the partnership will translate into a seamless
but real improvement in the depth and perspective brought to bear on what we
cover. For the bloggers, I hope the
partnership will expand our ability to provide broader perspectives and “team
coverage” to relevant issues, including the impact of Blessed Romero on the
Church and the culture, and the annual commemorations of his anniversary-feast
day. During the beatification of
Archbishop Romero in May, Daily Theology had three of its contributors on scene
in San Salvador. I was there too. I hope that at the canonization, we will be
there together.
Finally, this
partnership continues the fine tradition of joining with others in pursuit of
common objectives. Blessed Oscar Romero took up and gave strength to this
tradition. Among the important
principles that formed his ministry were communion, accompaniment, solidarity. “If we
want to follow the path of goodness then we must enter into solidarity with Christ to uproot from
our hearts those evil instincts that lead us to violence and crime,” he
said. Then he added: “We must also enter into solidarity with those who share these same ideals concerning life
and love and peace.” (November 14,
1977 sermon.) When we can, we should
work together.
Here’s to the
blog partners!
