Oscar Romero, archbishop of San Salvador, was assassinated as he celebrated Mass on March 24, 1980. The man usually referred to as the "red bishop" is Archbishop Helder Camara (1909-1999), archbishop of Olinda and Recife, Brazil. He was one of the earliest proponents of liberation theology, and he was an outspoken critic of Brazil's military disctatorship. It would be an understatement to say that Ratzinger and Camara "didn't get along."
