Ciudad del Vaticano. La Iglesia católica proclamó “venerable” al arquitecto catalán Antonio Gaudí (1852-1926), conocido por el diseño de la Sagrada Familia de Barcelona, un primer paso en el camino hacia la santidad, anunció el Vaticano.

El papa Francisco reconoció las “virtudes heroicas” del arquitecto y autorizó al dicasterio (ministerio) la promulgación de un decreto que lo declara “venerable”, indicó el Vaticano en un comunicado.
