Will the Vatican investigate a cardinal implicated in its own abuse trial?
- Feb 26, 2021
Even as the government of El Salvador announced a nationwide quarantine, hundreds flocked to a pilgrimage site March 12 to remember a Jesuit priest and his companions killed 43 years ago and declared martyrs by Pope Francis in February.
The Vatican announced Feb. 22 that Pope Francis has recognized the martyrdom of a fellow Jesuit, Salvadoran Father Rutilio Grande, and two companions who were murdered en route to a novena in 1977 in El Salvador.
Now that St. Oscar Romero has been canonized, Salvadorans have their sights set on sainthood for Jesuit Father Rutilio Grande.
