Biography
Jesús Emilio Jaramillo Monsalve, M.X.Y. (16 February 1916 – 2 October 1989) was a Colombian Roman Catholic prelate who was a professed member of the Xaverian Missionaries of Yarumal and served as the Bishop of Arauca from 1984 until his assassination. Jaramillo was a staunch opponent of the E.L.N. and spoke out against their atrocities in the midst of conflict and a drug war. But this led to him being marked for death and he was killed not long after being kidnapped and tortured.
Career
Jaramillo's cause for beatification opened in 2000. He was titled as a Servant of God and his beatification was dependent on whether or not the cause could prove if Jaramillo was killed "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith). Pope Francis confirmed his beatification in mid-2017 and the pope himself beatified Jaramillo during the papal visit to Colombia on 8 September 2017 in Villavicencio.
