Yet Romero quickly became yesterday's news at the Vatican, and after a few years his archdiocese was put in the hands of a Spaniard with close ties to Opus Dei, a conservative organization whose members understood Salvadoran reality from a different perspective than Romero, who was killed by the military in 1980. It was an overt attempt by Rome to rekindle favor with the economic elite who despised Romero and who started abandoning the church for Neopentecostal megachurches that preach personal piety but leave untouched questions about the morality of wealth and the use of power. ... (Miguel Cavada Díez says) "I'm not questioning the goodness of Mother Theresa of Calcutta, but she's been used by the church to proclaim that mission means charity and getting along with the powerful. Monseñor Romero, on the other hand, is a symbol of denouncing power, injustice, and poverty, of telling the rich that they are the cause of poverty and they aren't going to solve it with their alms. Yet look at how Teresa and Romero have been treated differently. This is a church that understands its mission as diplomacy with the powerful and charity towards the poor. Any prophetic dimension is simply lost." Latin America: A Search For a New Future by Barbara Fraser and Paul Jeffrey, National Catholic Reporter, 5/14/04
