As a catalan living in NYC, i liked seeing la Sagrada familia on 60 minutes but I didn't like that Lara Logan interview foreigners that work in the Sagrada Familia. When you go to Barcelona you have to interview catalan people who are involved in La Sagrada familia o interview everyday Barceloneses that love La Sagrada familia. Don't interview english speakers.....O talk about how Gaudi was a Catalan and how proud the catalan people are!!!!! Lara, if you don't speak spanish or catalan, get an interpreter!!!! When Bob Simon talked about Barcelona Football Cub a few weeks ago, that was WELL DONE> He nailed it. Lara didn't.

Man doesn't live by bread alone. As long as people donate freely, why should anyone care that they support this project. No way in a free society to channel people's excess into a certain project. I'm sure many people who are not well-off have donated to the Sagrada Familia. There are many ways that people waste money, Porn, Cigarettes, drugs come to mind. I don't consider a work of art a waste of money

"Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool; what is the house which you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things are mine"

WHY BUILD TEMPLES TO THE SKY, IF MAN HIMSELF DOES NOT BUILD?

Temples are to man's ego, not to God. People are starving, and Jesus had his mission under God's sky, not in a guilded cage.

"And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men."
