Pope Francis will speak Catalan at the Sagrada Familia

Archbishop Omella confirmed Pope Francis will speak Catalan at the Sagrada Familia, stating the pontiff is preparing to use the language. Omella personally knows the Pope is making an effort and has been rehearsing parts of his speech in Catalan, respecting the local language. The controversy arose from some critics, but Omella clarified that the liturgy was prepared with Catalan in mind, despite some initial confusion.
