Oscar Romero finally getting recognition he deserves

Dear Editor, Congratulations on your special issue of the paper (IC 21/05/2015) celebrating the life and legacy of Archbishop Oscar Romero. The monsignor was an incredible inspiration and his beatification is a well-deserved, and long-time coming, recognition of his bravery and compassion in speaking out against violence and injustice, and spreading the Gospel message of peace, in the face of death threats.

Hopefully the publicity around the beatification ceremony will lead young people to find out more about Oscar Romero’s life and they will be inspired by this true hero of the Church.

Yours etc.,

Rosemary Ryan,

Blackrock,

Cork.
