Barcelona’s “Sagrada Familia” church’s architect up for sainthood

The architect of the dramatic Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona has been proposed for sainthood by a group of supporters to officials at the Vatican.


Antoni Gaudi, architect … and saint?

From TheWorld.org online

…in Spain, an unlikely candidate is being championed for sainthood. It’s Antoni Gaudi, perhaps the country’s most famous architect. Gaudi died more than 80 year ago. He’s best known for his modernist masterpieces such as the still unfinished Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona. Those who want him canonized say he was also a devout Catholic…and that his works actually convert people to Christianity. They’ve presented their evidence to the Vatican. It’s evidence that includes alleged miracles.
