Catalan Church Mobilizes for Catalan Language Use in Sagrada Família Blessing
The Catalan Church is pushing for Pope Leo XIV to use Catalan during the blessing of the Sagrada Família's tower, a key moment of his apostolic visit. The Vatican's published missal lists the blessing in Spanish, sparking controversy. While an agreement combining both languages is likely, the Archdiocese of Barcelona denies a finalized deal, stating the Pope's words are his exclusive competence.
