You should see their icons (I kid you not!) of "Saint" Oscar Romero, "Saint" Martin Luther King, and several others! Why, if I were the cardinal archbishop of Boston, I'd throw the Paulists out of my diocese bodily, tear down the Paulist Center, exorcise the ground it sat on and build something "nice" for...say... the Fraternity of Saint Peter!

But, then, I'm not the archbishop! The Paulist Center will likely survive all of us by 500 years at the rate things are going in Boston to the present. Yet hope survives!

Actually, a cause for Romero's beatification and canonization was opened 10 years ago, and Pope John Paul II bestowed upon him the title of Servant of God. Salvadorans often call him "San Romero,"--- though it's not official --- but that's how canonizations normally take place: by the investigation and recognition of a local "cultus."

You can read more about Romero's proposed canonization HERE, if you can read Spanish.

As for MLK --- naaah. For one thing, wrong denom.
