Robert Schuman, father of the EU, one step away from the Pope declaring his heroic virtues

In the coming weeks, the Vatican will decide whether one of Europe’s most important politicians was also a hero of the faith. This is Robert Schuman, one of the fathers of the European Union.

If confirmed, the Vatican’s decision would be the step prior to beatification.

“Robert Shuman is a model person committed to serving the common good. I think it is an extraordinary manifestation of what Charity is, of serving others ”.

Bernard Ardura has been in charge of collecting evidence to show that Robert Schuman lived like a saint.

Remember that as a politician, after World War II he devoted all his energies to reconciling rival countries in Europe and laid the foundations so that there would be no more wars in the Old Continent.

This is the so-called Schuman Declaration, the basis of the current European Union.

“The 6 founding countries decide to share all the resources that concern iron and coal, that is, the war industry. The idea is to share the resources that are at the origin of the wars, so it is impossible in the future that France and Germany will face each other again ”.

Bernard Ardura says that Robert Schuman also showed his faith in his difficult missions as French foreign minister.

“At a UN General Assembly in New York he delivered a speech with extraordinary force, addressing the representatives of the Soviet Union, accusing them that through the Communist Party of different countries, they undermined democracy and the authority of the state. He is not a scared man nor is he sweet and gentle. No, it has the strength that faith gives it ”.

To be declared a saint, the Vatican asks that a miracle performed through the candidate’s intercession be demonstrated.

In the case of Schuman, it could be said that he did a miracle in life, because with his plan, Europe has gone through the longest period in its history without war.
