Monsignor Óscar Arnulfo Romero was assassinated on March 24, 1980 in the capital of El Salvador while officiating a mass, being named a martyr of the Church in 2015.

The depth and courage of the legacy treasured in his homilies and his actions, when death haunted him daily, explains why

the poor and good people of El Salvador and other nations of the continent granted him the status of San Romero de América.

On this new anniversary of his death, Cubadebate shares in his tribute the text Monsignor Romero: The Option for the Poor.
