The Sagrada Familia Spectacle: When Antipopes Bless Monuments to Man’s Vanity
Father Raymond J. de Souza, writing for the National Register portal, reports on “Pope” Leo XIV’s evening visit to the Sagrada Familia basilica in Barcelona—a ceremony replete with drone-guided portraits, sound-and-light spectaculars, and the enthusiastic endorsement of a structure that has become the principal attraction of a secularized Catalonia. The commentary overflows with praise for Antoni Gaudí’s architectural vision, yet remains conspicuously silent on the theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the entire conciliar apparatus that now occupies itself with blessing buildings rather than saving souls. That an antipope would dedicate a tower and preside over a spectacle of technological wizardry while the Faith is apostatized across the entire so-called Catholic world tells us everything about the priorities of the post-conciliar sect.
