Vatican City:
The Vatican said on Monday that the Catholic Church has named “Gods Architect” to Antony Gowdy, designer of Sagarda Familia Basilica in Barcelona.
“Pope Francis recognized the” brave qualities “of the Catalan architect and declared a decree” respected “,” Vatican said in a statement.
This acknowledges come before the beetication, and then the next step is saintpt.
Betification is reserved for three categories of people: martyrs, who live the life of brave values and others with the reputation of a clear saint.
Candidates should also be credited with a miracle after his death, the point at which they can move towards becoming a saint.
The church began in 2003 with a visionary and sacred architect Gaudi, who died in 1926.
Two decades later, in 2023, the archbishop of Barcelona, Cardinal Juan Jose Omela commissioned a group of religious religious and put people to suppress their reason.
Gaudi designed the incomplete monumental basilica of Sagarda Familia, preserved by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010, paving the way for its use as a place of worship.
At that time, Benedict praised “Antony Gaudi’s talent …. (who), inspired by the movement of his Christianity, praised the church to convert this Church into praise of God -made God”.
The signing of the decree was the first official appointment on Francis’ agenda as the 88-year-old was struggling with a life-threatening pneumonia in the hospital after five weeks on March 23.
