Before someone slams a Catholic archbishop who was killed offering Mass, they should provide sources supporting their claims.
I didn't slam anyone. I just said that there's no proof whatsoever that Romero was killed on account of the Faith. Even John Paul II blocked the canonization process because it was most likely that he was killed due to his political positions.
Thanks Ladislaus. I wasn't referring to you in particular.
But what you say is interesting. This is why I have problems with believing all common Trad rumors about every Novus Ordo priest or pope. John Paul 2, who is alleged by some traditionalists as being a Marxist and canonized Marxist friendly José Maria Escrivás, blocked Marxist Archbishop's canonization who was murdered offering Mass.
Again, I'm not saying you are saying these things or directing my comment at you, but we have all heard these rumors. The Opus Dei "canonization" is what complicates things. It just doesn't add up. Not saying I believe Archbishop Romero was a saint of course, but I don't deny that he may well have died a Martyr. It is more likely that he died because he was Catholic than because he wanted to help the poor in El Salvador. I have visited his tomb in the Catedral De El Salvador. It is notable that the cathedral is surrounded by "Christian" congregation buildings "friends of Israel" and other zionist, extremely heretical groups on all streets. El Salvador is a dangerous place, but not so much for those who want to help the poor.
