The press attacked Romero due to rumors. Romero, it was said, allied the church with revolutionaries. ... Romero found in their deaths a wrong injustice and he was infuriated by the government and how they could do such a thing to good priests.

Romero’s friends sensed his isolation and the unfamiliar feeling in the church, while the threats and dangers against Romero mounted outside in the city.
