and seventy's and also canonized his archbishop bosco romero killed by a right wing death squads while preaching in el salvador thirty eight years ago. all that together with him and the other new saints today there was archbishop romero left the security of the world even his own safety in order to live his life according to the gospel close to the poor into his people with a hard road to jesus and his brothers and sisters a stone simply his canonization was for medical miracle curing cecilia flores of a life threatening illness but for her many other salvadorans he's much more generous he's a person who fought for all salvador and continues fighting and continues to intercede for the country a brave man who defended life defended the family defended the most needy that's what he means to me. they revere him to speaking out the social justice and defending them against repression in the military led right wing governments in the

one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's conservatives who ever saw him as a spokesman for the left wing he knew that that puts him in danger. i will not abandon my people but along with them i will run all the risks that my ministry demands. remain the divisive figure even after his murder and it took the intervention of pope francis to ensure his sainthood to delight the supporters in el salvador but. to me it's a joy because every time i visit the crypt i feel he's still alive because for me he didn't die. and that it's a big joy i have tears i'm not too well but i grew up following the steps of monsignor romero it's a big joy also the door eventually emerge from civil war many are hoping the new saints will die as they tackle the violence and injustice that continue to blight their country. al-jazeera. well let's join that miguel dilatory in

pullman in washington via skype he joins me there he's a professor of social ethics and latin studies a professor at the eyelet school of theology good to have you with us on al-jazeera . st remember is mentioned at every u.n. or every year at the u.n. on the anniversary of his death and he's listed alongside other human rights campaigners like martin luther king and one hundred k. gandy i mean how important has he been to central american history he has been extremely important basically he's one of those clergy who is to a high level who really. wasn't started down ready with the most of the cross and the most to be use in our sorrow at that time which was a tremendous transformation because he really was a bookworm and very traditional but when he heard the story of the war it radicalized him and he had a conversion to to really be the first books person indeed i mean for our

international viewers i think they want to try and get a sense of why he was so important during a period of history in el salvador that was incredibly dark and where the church were at the forefront of trying to protect those that felt they had no protection. i know it and reviewers and or honest that when i ask a homo or begins his ministry there's also a time in with a new way of doing theology known as liberation theology is emerging in latin america and will now becomes a eight a voice within the liberation theology which basically looks at the grass loops at the most oppressed within society and makes an impression enjoy action for the most oppressed people el salvador is a is a predominantly catholic country so faith perhaps was in conflict with the military at that time and many of the military must have been catholic so surely

a huge crisis of conscience not just for the military but for the public at large wondering what those dictatorships were doing to their own people were and that's the thing because the military and many of the individuals weren't catholics well now becomes don't voice of conscience forcing them to deal with their own band and meant the basic social teachings of the church and therefore he becomes dangerous whenever the clergy truly hold their own people accountable chances of becoming a martyr rises. since his death in the in the early one nine hundred eighty s. we've had pope john paul and pope benedict and now we have pope francis why has it taken so long for this apparent hero in el salvador to be canonized now was he so politically unpopular within the church what was what was the reason for the canonization now. well first of all we need to remember that for the people he has

always been a saint it is only them bad again now with his catching up to the world people so far as the people are concerned here where he was a sect but the reason why it has been delayed so long is because he had been characterized as a marxist as a communist as a leftist while in fact all he was was a person who was following the gospels and the teachings of jesus christ but whenever you go ahead and stand with your crass government and political powers dismissed you as a communist and therefore you become dangerous in the last two popes let us not forget were very conservatives so the fact of bringing him up or canonization had to be delayed well for the moment we will have to leave it there is certainly been ever meant to stay for perhaps everybody in el salvador for the moment to me go dilatory thank you for joining us. worshippers of the orthodox church in ukraine of
