Camilo Torres Restrepo biography
Father Camilo Torres Restrepo was born in Bogotá, Colombia on 3 February 1929 and died in Santander on 15 February, 1966. He was a Colombian socialist, Roman Catholic priest, a predecessor of liberation theology and a member of the National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrilla organization. During his life, he tried to reconcile revolutionary Marxism and Catholicism.
Torres was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1954, but continued to study for some years at the Pontifical Catholic University of Leuven (Louvain) in Belgium. When he returned to Colombia, he increasingly felt obliged to actively support the cause of poor and the laboring class. Camilo Torres believed that in order to secure justice for the people, Christians had a duty to use violent action.
As part of the academic staff of the National University of Colombia, he was a co-founder of the Sociology Faculty together with Orlando Fals Borda in 1960. His involvement in several student and political movements during the time won him a large following as well as many detractors, especially from the Colombian government and the church itself. Due to the growing pressure to back down from his radical politics, Camilo Torres saw himself persecuted and went into hiding (leaving his job as an academic) by joining the guerrillas in Colombia. He served as a low-ranking member of the ELN to whom he also provided spiritual assistance and inspiration from a Marxist-Christian point of view. He was killed in his first combat experience, when the ELN ambushed a Colombian Military patrol. After his death, Camilo Torres was made an official martyr of the ELN.
He is perhaps best known for the quote: "If Jesus were alive today, He would be a guerrillero."
In the Dominican Republic in 1970 a revolutionary group that included catholic clergy members and university students was founded under the name CORECATO which stood for Comando Revolucionario Camilo Torres or Revolutionary Command Camilo Torres.
In New York City, San Romero of the Americas Church-UCC has founded the Camilo Torres Project in 2009. This project works for social justice and peace for the people of the Washington Heights community.

    The song another day in paradise, is about:

    A woman seeks help from a man crossing the street, because she's cold and she does not know where to sleep. The man ignores the woman but then he feels bad. He notes that she has been crying and has blisters, she can not walk but she tries. He probably thinks that she has been cast in different places. In conclusion is another day for him but not just be another day for her.

    Opinion: Camilo was an idol by many people, because he had ideas about of the fight by injustice, but I think that in this country the ideas politic changed and now this army have other ideal that is the drug trafficking and they commit acts that are very injustice and they don’t think in their first ideal. Camilo was a priest violent that doesn’t think in the victims that always are fine people as farmers. I agree with the ideas of the priest but I don’t share that he went to the ELN.

    I think Camilo was in a serious conflict between his catholicism and his kind of altruismo. Must people is called to open their eyes to see how the rich people's lies drag us into poverity and sickness; but war is the way for a pain and blood bath society.
    so if we want a better world, we must begin from being better AND kind in owr closer relationships. AND NEVER OBEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
