Is the Sagrada Familia being banalised in the name of tourism?

A group of Spanish architects and art world types has savagely denounced the continuing work to complete Gaudí's religious masterpiece the Sagrada Familia. Should work on this vast church - often mistaken, with good reason, for Barcelona's cathedral – have been carried on, after his death in 1926 left it unfinished? The grumpy intellectuals say no. Gaudí, they complain, is being banalised in the name of tourism.
... But what is wrong with Gaudí's popularity? Nothing. He was an architect with a generous social vision and it is fitting that his works are visited. It is so rare for an architect to be truly loved that to carp at the masses who go to see Gaudí is a quite nasty form of snobbery.
