In Church terms, the word "canon" means law, and canonization in this sense means "legalization" or "legitimization." The institutionalization advances every day. Last year, the Pope invoked Romero twice. This year, he called him an example of the "love of God" in El Salvador and Italian Church sources are reporting that the Pope will pay tribute to Romero at a shrine for uncanonized 20th Cent. martyrs on the Tiber River, where Romero holds a central place. This canonization is well under way, and the formal process will probably culminate within the next five years. Msgr. Rosa has already announced that it will be in San Salvador, which means that it's so close that he can see it.<BR/><BR/>-- CarlosCarlos X.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16580093848691478319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177745.post-53773296715121075982008-03-29T22:26:00.000-05:002008-03-29T22:26:00.000-05:00When is the Vatican letting him become a SAINT?kee...When is the Vatican letting him become a SAINT?<BR/><BR/>keep us up to date.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177745.post-68399494814143278682008-03-27T12:16:00.000-05:002008-03-27T12:16:00.000-05:00Tim, thanks for keeping the precious memory alive....Tim, thanks for keeping the precious memory alive. I was in Cordoba, Argentina, for the 24th, and I was so, so, so surprised how feeble this conscience or consciousness is. In lands like Argentina and Chile, where their own searing experiences under military dictatorship and oppression in the 70s is still so fresh, there seemed to be little awareness of the plight of El Salvador. In fact, most people I spoke to barely knew what or where El Salvador was. Someone at one point asked me after hearing the name of my country, "And to what country does that territory belong?" Conciousness, my friend, a precious commodity!<BR/><BR/>-- PolycarpioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177745.post-44116780777713578892008-03-24T22:26:00.000-05:002008-03-24T22:26:00.000-05:00I watched the video.

The founder of ARENA may have ordered his murder, but Romero would still preach the necessity of loving one's enemy as the only path to true change.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452039674856298357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177745.post-22473890069449576742008-03-24T21:36:00.000-05:002008-03-24T21:36:00.000-05:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcI5XofrTN0&feature...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcI5XofrTN0&feature=relatedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
