Big Catholic news: Archbishop Oscar Romero just might be a saint, even if he was a liberal. A panel of theologians that considers cases for sainthood has determined that when Romero was murdered by a rightwing death squad in 1980, he was not just the victim of a political assassination, but also a martyr to the cause of Jesus and the faith. We guess the Vatican is no longer officially the same place where John Paul II warned against the threat of "liberation theology!" This bit of wrangling angels into an acceptable position on the head of a pin is a significant step toward Romero's possible canonization as a saint, which is a seriously weird process of theological bureaucracy.
I have never required anyone to die for me, not even that time I found myself the focus of a cult. College was weird. Anyway, hooray for those who <i>actually follow</i> the tenets of their faith.
You wouldn&#039;t want to be his taster. Even if the job does come with a 1-miracle-off coupon, good for one sainthood, while supplies last (restrictions apply.)
Actually, I thought it was a nice touch. (Remember, this was back when getting one of our properties into the White House was still a special event.) We did reserve a special place for &quot;Blowtorch Bob&quot;, by the way.
Great! Now if we could just uncanonize Saint Ronnie...

Does Dumbya&#039;s re-election count as a miracle?
&quot;sadly the boy was still stupid.&quot;
I bet he&#039;s writing for a wingnut website today, or at least posting regularly on breitbartsrottingcorpse.com
The Swiss Guard had better sharpen up their halberds.
