St. John Paul II prays before the tomb of Archbishop Oscar Romero in the San Salvador cathedral during his 1983 visit to the city. After decades of debate within the church, Pope Francis formally recognized that Archbishop Romero was killed “in hatred of the faith” and not for purely political reasons.
