El Salvador's Catholic Church has separated three men from the priesthood after a Vatican court found them guilty of sexually abusing children.
One is Mgr Jesus Delgado, one of the country's best-known priests and a former top official in the San Salvador archdiocese.
Mgr Delgado served as a private secretary to assassinated Archbishop Oscar Romero and wrote his biography.
Archbishop Romero was killed in 1980 by a gunman linked to the military government of the time.
The Archbishop of San Salvador identified the other two as Fr Francisco Galvez and Fr Antonio Molina.
