San Salvador, El Salvador, Aug 14, 2017 / 15:13 pm
A cardinal from El Salvador says that a Facebook account attributed to him is fake, and that he did not post about Pope Francis' intent to travel to El Salvador for the potential canonization of Archbishop Oscar Romero.
"This is Monsignor Gregorio Rosa Chávez to clarify that I don't have an account either on Twitter or on Facebook," the cardinal says in an audio recording released by the Archdiocese of San Salvador.
"There is an account that is being published under my name. I want you to know that it is an account that does not belong to me. So whatever is published there has nothing to do with me."
Cardinal Rosa Chávez's statement comes after reports that he had said on Facebook that Pope Francis is hoping to come to El Salvador for the possible canonization of Oscar Romero.
