And the Pope spoke in Catalan

What nerves! After so much controversy, and that he had refused to speak in Spanish to the police, after it was known that he had not been expected to say anything in Catalan at the inauguration of the tower of Jesus of the Sagrada Família, finally the complaints made a hole in the Holy Mother Church and the holy father addressed the faithful in Catalan when blessing the section that culminates the basilica. After seeing him in the previous hours, in the cathedral, the Olympic Stadium and the abbey of Montserrat, it was to be expected that this would be the case, but you only had to pay attention to the linguistic temperament of his host, the archbishop, so that all your doubts were put to rest. In the previous events, the man had limited Catalan to greetings, and not even when concelebrating the Eucharist with his colleague from Tarragona did they deign to share the sentences bilingually.
