FYI: The U.S. literally helped assassinate a priest dubbed “A servant of god” by the Vatican because he was against a regime that repressed basic human rights funded by the U.S.
Romero was shot on 24 March 1980, while celebrating Mass at a small chapel located in a hospital called “La Divina Providencia”, one day after a sermon where he had called on Salvadoran soldiers, as Christians, to obey God’s higher order and to stop carrying out the government’s repression and violations of basic human rights. According to an audio-recording of the Mass, he was shot while elevating the chalice at the end of the Eucharistic rite. When he was shot, his blood spilled over the altar along with the contents of the chalice.
It is believed that the assassins were members of a death squad trained and funded by the United States.[9] This view was supported in 1993 by an official U.N. report, which identified the man who ordered the killing as former Major and School of the Americas graduate Roberto D’Aubuisson.
Oh yeah, if you’re still reading, the same group of assassins then smoke bombed his funeral attended by 250,000 people and shot bullets into the crowd killing 50 people. Isn’t our country great?
