All the way up the mountain to the Benedictine Monastery called Montserrat in Catalonia were banners saying, "No Thanks" to the visit of the Pope. Including one on the monastery itself. The visit was considered an encouragement to the right wing and conservatives.
Many feel that the visit is an affront at a time when severity measures are being implemented against the people. In addition the money spent in preparation for the visit of a Pope who reflects a reactionary ideology. Montserrat was historically a bastion for the Catalan people against the forces of fascism in Spain. It is officially a park run by the Catalonian government as well as a monastery.
