The Sign of Peace

By Duane WH Arnold, PhD (Indiana, USA):
Estimates by the Archdiocese of San Salvador place the crowd at between 250,000 and 300,000.  The exchange of peace within the context of the Mass, appeared especially significant, considering the many deep divisions in Salvadoran society and politics. It is clear that in the remarks of Cardinal Amato and numerous commentators, the emphasis of the entire event is that of reconciliation.
