Gaudi May Be Canonized as a Saint
Pope Francis has approved the initial steps towards the canonization of architect Antoni Gaudi, according to a report by Reuters. The next phase in this process involves establishing a miracle attributed to Gaudi. Renowned for his design of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Gaudi's work is notable as the largest unfinished Roman Catholic church in the world and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Construction of the basilica began in 1882, with plans for its completion set for 2026, coinciding with the centenary of Gaudi's death.
🔎 Fact Check
The post is mostly accurate. Pope Francis has taken steps toward canonizing Antoni Gaudí, recognizing his "heroic virtue," which is a key part of the process. However, it is misleading to imply that canonization is imminent, as a miracle must still be established.
