From the Church:
As many as 5,000 Salvadorans present in St. Peter’s Square cried, prayed, and expressed their joy at an event they were patiently waiting for, for the past 28 years.
The Pope referred to Paul VI as “a saint who lived amidst difficulties and misunderstandings” and to the new Central American saint as “the bishop of the poor:” “It is beautiful that, next to Paul VI and the other saints we recognize today, we find Monsignor Romero, who left the security of the world, including his own safety, to surrender his life to the Gospel, remaining close to the poor and his people.”
The same can be said of Francesco Spinelli, Vincenzo Romano, Maria Caterina Kasper, Nazaria Ignazia Saint Teresa of Jesus, and also of the 19-year-old from Naples, Nunzio Sulprizio, who was also canonized.
