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 salv
