Abstract

This article presents the topic of Christian martyrdom from the perspective of the concept of commitment. First, the article establishes the relation between the Episcopal ministry of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero and the theology of Ignacio Ellacuría in order to provide particular examples of the actualities of martyrdom and to establish the relation between ecclesial praxis and ecclesiology. Second, martyrdom is presented from the category of Sacrament, to demonstrate that such dimension has a strong anthropological, philosophical, and liturgical-sacramental basis; the examples given are the Baptism and the Eucharist. The conclusion presents the church as a deep sacramental commitment. In other words, the martyrs are the most credible ones of ecclesial reality, because in these the highest bond between God and mankind takes place.
