Pope, in an Angered Brazil, to Focus on Social Justice - NYTimes.com

Pope, in an Angered Brazil, to Focus on Social Justice - NYTimes.com:

"Barely a month after becoming pope, Francis took a symbolically important step that liberation theologians here and elsewhere in Latin America interpreted as a peace offering. The beatification of Bishop Óscar Romero, a Salvadoran who was killed by a right-wing death squad in 1980 and is considered a martyr by many disciples of liberation theology, had been frozen since 2005, the year Benedict assumed the papacy, but Francis almost immediately ordered it reopened."
