Abstract

This article is an answer to John Paul 11' s call to propose again sanctity as a historical challenge. It is the transcription of a Lent convention at Notre-Dame in Paris, dealing with the testimony of Robert Schuman, Europe' s priest and living example of how politics can be a way to sanctity.

His proposal, "a soul to Europe", encourages the building of a society which would be a generous cornmunity made up of free men and free women, cooperative with and responsible for other less favoured countries.

His life is an example for new millennium laic people and their heritage, a message of hope in the present circumstances, when it is necessary to insist on the Christian humanism's fundamental proposals: people's dignity, justice and liberty, the value of work, love to the family, tolerance and peace desire.
