Church, Politics & Identity: Pope Leo XIV’s Barcelona leg included the blessing of the completed Tower of Jesus at the Sagrada Família, now the world’s tallest church, alongside veiled remarks against war and support for refugees; he also made a pilgrimage to Montserrat, entrusting his ministry to Our Lady of Montserrat.
