J.S.D. candidate Father Emilio Gómez successfully defended his dissertation entitled “A Theology of Human Rights from the Vision of Archbishop St. Oscar Arnulfo Romero and its Impact in the Secular World.” In it, Father Emilio described the life, ended by death squad assassination, of the former Archbishop of the Capital of the Republic of El Salvador, his home country. He also analyzed the theological approach to human rights presented by St. Oscar Romero, which placed divine law on top of the Kelsenian pyramid of norms, above the positive law of the Constitution, statutes, and regulations, enhancing and nourishing the latter.

Father Emilio earned the grade of honors, cum laude, following a lively exchange before the rigorosum committee consisting of his supervisor, Professor John Makdisi, his second evaluator Father Paul VI Karenga, J.S.D., and Associate Dean Siegfried Wiessner.
