They are both acknowledgements that are so late as to be meaningless.  Romero was a martyr when he was killed.  The fact that the Pope recognized this thirty-five years later seems a strange thing to celebrate, but if it means that much to you, i suppose I will just have to acknowledge that people are weird, and move on.

Packer fans are pushing for Jerry Kramer to be in the Hall of Fame and he retired over 40 years ago.  If he got in he and they would be happy.  Not sure why that is weird.

In fact it seems irrational and bizarre to call that weird.  That is completely normal.

You're completely normal!

No wait that didn't come out right.

So you think that getting into the Hall of Fame is the football equivalent of being martyred?  Weird.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
