\n L'ambasciatore d'Ungheria presso la Santa Sede Eduard Habsburg parla a EWTN News nel 2023. \/ Crediti: Daniel Iba\u00f1ez\/CNA<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

Citt\u00e0 del Vaticano, 19 novembre 2025 \/ 15:53 (CNA).<\/p>\n

L'arciduca d'Austria Eduard Habsburg \u00e8 ambasciatore d'Ungheria presso la Santa Sede dal 2015 e ha descritto il suo incarico in Vaticano come \u201ci 10 anni pi\u00f9 belli della mia vita\u201d.<\/p>\n

Presentando le sue credenziali a Papa Francesco l'8 dicembre 2015, Habsburg ha raccontato al reporter di EWTN News Colm Flynn che, dopo un decennio di lavoro, ha \u201cvisto tutto\u201d e ora vuole dedicare pi\u00f9 tempo alla sua famiglia, in particolare ai suoi genitori.<\/p>\n

\u201cHo pensato che 10 anni fossero un buon mandato. \u00c8 molto pi\u00f9 lungo di quanto gli ambasciatori solitamente trascorrano qui\u201d, ha detto nell'intervista esclusiva.<\/p>\n

\u201cPenso di aver visto tutto ci\u00f2 che si pu\u00f2 vedere qui, incluso un conclave, le visite del mio primo ministro, momenti emozionanti\u201d, ha aggiunto. \u201cIn un certo senso, mi mancher\u00e0, ma anche la famiglia \u00e8 importante\u201d. <\/p>\n

Sebbene il suo mandato in Vaticano stia volgendo al termine, l'ambasciatore uscente ha affermato che probabilmente continuer\u00e0 a rappresentare l'Ungheria in futuri eventi internazionali organizzati dalla Chiesa e da gruppi pro-famiglia.  <\/p>\n

\u201cTerr\u00f2 un piede in quel mondo, per cos\u00ec dire, quindi non lo abbandoner\u00f2 del tutto\u201d, ha detto.<\/p>\n

Riflettendo sulla sua iniziale sorpresa nel ricevere la richiesta di diventare ambasciatore d'Ungheria presso la Santa Sede, Habsburg, che appartiene alla nota dinastia cattolica europea di 850 anni, ha detto di aver \u201ciniziato a correre\u201d appena arrivato a Roma per il suo primo incarico.<\/p>\n

Su Papa Francesco e il suo amore per l'Ungheria<\/h2>\n

Descrivendo il suo rapporto con Papa Francesco come \u201cincredibilmente positivo\u201d, l'ambasciatore uscente ha affermato che il pontefice argentino nutriva un affetto caloroso per la nazione dell'Europa centrale e il suo popolo.<\/p>\n

\u201cL'ho visto ogni volta che incontrava un ungherese\u201d, ha detto. \u201cUsava espressioni ungheresi. Sorrideva. Era felice. Dedicava loro del tempo\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sebbene Papa Francesco non avesse visitato l'Ungheria fino al 2021 per il 52\u00b0 Congresso Eucaristico Internazionale, ha raccontato a Habsburg di aver \u201cimparato tutto\u201d sull'Ungheria attraverso tre suore che fuggirono dal loro paese nel 1956, durante l'occupazione sovietica, verso un monastero a Buenos Aires, in Argentina.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHanno plasmato la visione di Papa Francesco sull'Ungheria e questo ha reso il mio lavoro molto facile\u201d, ha scherzato. \u201c\u00c8 stato incredibilmente generoso\u201d.<\/p>\n

Papa Francesco ha visitato l'Ungheria una seconda volta nel 2023 per il suo viaggio apostolico<\/a> nella capitale del paese, Budapest, dal 28 al 30 aprile.   <\/p>\n

Su Papa Benedetto XVI e il suo umorismo<\/h2>\n

Durante gli anni '90, Papa Benedetto XVI, allora cardinale Joseph Ratzinger, lesse la tesi di dottorato di Habsburg sul tema di Tommaso d'Aquino e il Vaticano II e gli disse che \u201cgli era piaciuta\u201d e che voleva che realizzasse un documentario o un thriller sul tomismo.<\/p>\n

Dopo il primo incontro con Papa Francesco, l'ambasciatore ha raccontato di aver incontrato in seguito il Papa emerito Benedetto XVI nei Giardini Vaticani.  <\/p>\n

\u201cMi ha guardato e ha detto: 'Allora sei ambasciatore adesso?'\u201d, ha ricordato Habsburg. \u201cE poi ha aggiunto: 'Sai che mi devi ancora un documentario o un thriller sul tomismo'\u201d. <\/p>\n

\u201c\u00c8 stata la prima cosa che ha detto. Sono rimasto sbalordito\u201d, ha raccontato. \u201cNon l'ho ancora scritto\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuesta \u00e8 una cosa che molte persone non sanno di Papa Benedetto XVI: il senso dell'umorismo che aveva e che non abbiamo mai potuto vedere pubblicamente\u201d, ha detto.  <\/p>\n

Habsburg ha conseguito un dottorato in filosofia presso l'Universit\u00e0 di Eichst\u00e4tt-Ingolstadt nel 1999. <\/p>\n

Su Papa Leone XIV <\/strong><\/h2>\n

L'arciduca e ambasciatore ha riferito a EWTN News di aver incontrato brevemente Papa Leone XIV quattro volte quest'anno, dopo la sua elezione papale a maggio.  <\/p>\n

\u201cSono molto colpito da lui. Lo sento come un uomo molto equilibrato e giusto che sta cercando di fare del bene\u201d, ha detto del primo papa nato negli Stati Uniti. <\/p>\n

Notando la padronanza di molte lingue da parte di Papa Leone, tra cui inglese, italiano, spagnolo e latino, Habsburg ha commentato di credere che il nuovo leader della Chiesa universale \u201cabbia diverse culture nel cuore e nella mente\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cE s\u00ec, vedremo le cose che far\u00e0. Preghiamo per lui ogni giorno\u201d, ha detto.<\/p>\n
