Mumbai: St Pius X College, the seminary of the archdiocese of Bombay, is all set to stage a play in Hindi on Blessed Oscar Romero of El Salvador, who was shot dead while celebrating Mass in 1980. “Oscar Romero and Jesus of Nazareth had many similarities,” says Father Nigel Barrett, spokesman for the archdiocese of Bombay explaining the reason for the major seminary to stage ‘Nirnayon ka Jeevan (A Life of Decisions)’ during the birth centenary year of the El Salvadorian prelate. According to the Mumbai priest, both Jesus and Romero were born in abject poverty, in a small and insignificant country. “Both learned the trade of carpentry. They lived a life of profound intimacy with God, often praying all night.”
