San Óscar Romero

San Óscar Romero was a Salvadoran Roman Catholic archbishop who became a powerful voice for the poor and oppressed in El Salvador during the late 20th century. He is best known for his outspoken criticism of the government and military during the Salvadoran Civil War, particularly regarding human rights abuses. Romero's commitment to social justice and his advocacy for the marginalized led to his assassination on March 24, 1980, while celebrating Mass. He was canonized as a saint by Pope Francis in 2018, recognized for his courageous stand against injustice and his martyrdom for faith.
