Referendum
“The situation of violence that we have experienced today in Catalonia is regrettable”. Cardinal Juan José Omella, Archbishop of Barcelona, speaks later in the evening at the end of an intense election day which has put a strain on the city dealing, on the one hand, with a referendum banned by the government in Madrid and, on the other, with the intervention of the security forces and state authorities which have left several people injured. And as the chances of an agreement being reached between the Government of the Generalitat and the Spanish Government seem increasingly remote, the Cardinal once again indicates “dialogue” and “prayer” as a way out of the crisis. “We need to find a peaceful and democratic solution to the situation we are experiencing. Let us entrust it to the God of peace”

Cardinal Omella echoes the message of peace that the Archbishop of Tarragona, Mgr. Jaume Pujol, President of the Spanish Bishops’ Conference, issued yesterday afternoon. “We have to stop violence and clashes and find a peaceful and democratic way out”.
