- Francisco de AsÃs Vidal y Barraquer (Catalan: Francesc d'AsÃs Vidal i Barraquer, October 3, 1868 – September 13, 1943) was a Spanish Catalan Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church who served as Archbishop of Tarragona from 1919 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1921. He famously refused to sign the 1937 Collective Letter in which the Spanish Church's hierarchy gave their support to Francisco Franco's forces, and died in exile in Switzerland.
