Can someone explain why this is national news? Not just this instance, but any canonization. Not just NYT but all media outlets.
Pope Francis canonized the Salvadoran archbishop killed in 1980 by a right-wing death squad and the pope credited with leading the modernization of the churchhttps://nyti.ms/2yEiQEb

Explain:El Salvador destroyed by terrible civil war-US gave over $300 million military aid every year to a country the size of Massachusetts. During that time 75,000 civilians were killed tortured from the military & Death squads This man gave his life in in attempt to stop it.

Thank you. I don't want to diminish the importance of this man or his sacrifice. I still don't understand why canonizations in general are newsworthy.
-
I understand, I do not have much use for church, The pope etc. but I am glad to see this man be celebrating, especially in the dark times we all face. Peace.
