Una ventaja más del latín

In brief

Jorge Soley criticized nationalist groups and media outlets for their focus on language use during Pope Leo XIV's visit to Barcelona. Writing for InfoCatólica, Soley described the attempts to monitor the Pope's use of Catalan versus Spanish as a shameful display of linguistic nationalism.

Soley noted that some observers used stopwatches to measure how much time the Pope spent speaking Spanish compared to Catalan. He argued that these critics focused more on which language was being used than on the actual message of the Pope. While Soley stated he has no issue with the Pope using Catalan, he characterized the obsession with forcing the Pope to speak a language he does not master as a negative aspect of the visit.
