"My client is not in a hurry."
One hundred years ago today, on June 10, 1926, Antoni Gaudí died in Barcelona, three days after being struck by a tram on his way to confession. Because of his simple clothes and unkempt appearance, many mistook him for a beggar and delayed helping him. By the time he was identified, it was too late.
A century later, the man known as "God's architect" is being remembered not only for his genius, but for the faith that inspired it.
Today, Pope Leo XIV will visit the Basilica of the Sagrada Família to bless the newly completed Tower of Jesus Christ, the final and tallest of Gaudí's planned towers. Rising 172.5 meters (566 feet), it makes the Sagrada Família the tallest church in the world.
Gaudí devoted the last years of his life almost entirely to the Sagrada Família, convinced that he was not building a monument to himself but offering a work of praise to God. He famously accepted that he would never see it completed, saying, "My client is not in a hurry."
One hundred years after his death, the basilica remains a testament to a faith capable of imagining eternity—and to a man whose greatest masterpiece was never really about architecture at all.
There’s a thing called “object permanence”, a persons ability to understand that if something moves out of their sight that thing still exists… they just can’t see it. Most normal people develop this when they’re a toddler, it’s why ”Peek-a-Boo” stops working, but I think libs may never actually develop it
It's absolute rich to hear "this will make the regular season meaningless" from an ESPN panel who 6 fucking months ago was pounding the table that 3-loss Alabama deserved a playoff spot
The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels and U.S. Air Force’s Thunderbirds, two of the nation’s most elite flight teams, united Tuesday to perform an extremely rare formation flyover in “Super Delta” over Pensacola Beach, Florida.
Boy I tell you what you give the journos 10 years to chase down leads and a half dozen whistle blowers on a silver platter and political expediency and by god they will break the story.
Mayor Brandon Johnson today: "And here in the City of Chicago, we believe in protecting every single person in this city."
Since the beginning of the year, 369 people have been shot and 98 have been killed in Chicago.
You are doing a bang-up job, Mr. Mayor.
@jcolbs24 I believe the point is that democrats keep voting down clean funding bills in an effort to tack on legislation that is not germane to TSA funding.
