Óscar Romero
Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez is a bishop of the Catholic Church in El Salvador. He was an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of San Salvador, Bishop of Santiago de María, and ultimately the Fourth Archbishop of San Salvador. As Archbishop, Romero spoke out against social injustice and violence amid the escalating conflict between the military government and leftist insurgents that led to the Salvadoran civil war. In 1980, Romero was shot and killed by an assassin while celebrating mass. Although no one has ever been convicted of the crime, United Nations Truth Commission investigations into El Salvador conclude that Major Roberto D'Aubuisson, the founder of the right-wing political party ARENA, ordered the murder. In 1997, Pope John Paul II granted Romero the title of Servant of God, and a reason for his beatification was opened by the church. Cause blocked, but was reopened by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012
