In questo contesto, i vescovi hanno affermato che l'Europa deve recuperare la sua identit\u00e0 spirituale per offrire al mondo intero il suo \u201ccontributo indispensabile\u201d al bene comune.<\/p>\n<p>L'appello ricorda anche il ruolo storico del cristianesimo nel plasmare il continente, sostenendo che, anche se oggi i cristiani sono meno numerosi, sono comunque chiamati a tornare \u201ccon coraggio e perseveranza\u201d al fondamento della loro speranza.<\/p>\n<p>Guardando al dopoguerra e alla costruzione dell'Unione Europea, i vescovi hanno invocato l'eredit\u00e0 dei padri fondatori Robert Schuman, Konrad Adenauer e Alcide De Gasperi, descrivendoli come architetti di un progetto \u201cmagnifico, seppur fragile\u201d ispirato dalla loro fede cristiana. Il testo cita la ripetuta enfasi di San Giovanni Paolo II sul ruolo dei cristiani nella costruzione dell'Europa, ricordando la sua osservazione che l'amore dei fondatori per Cristo era inseparabile dal loro impegno per l'umanit\u00e0.<\/p>\n<p>I vescovi hanno avvertito che l'Europa \u201cnon pu\u00f2 essere ridotta a un mercato economico e finanziario\u201d senza tradire la visione originale dei fondatori. Hanno esortato il continente a rifiutare forme escludenti di isolazionismo e violenza, a sostenere lo stato di diritto e a favorire soluzioni sovranazionali ai conflitti attraverso meccanismi e alleanze appropriati.<\/p>\n<p>L'Europa, hanno aggiunto, deve rimanere pronta a riprendere il dialogo anche in mezzo al conflitto, lavorando per la riconciliazione e la pace. \u201cUn quadro internazionale sta morendo e uno nuovo deve ancora nascere\u201d, hanno scritto i vescovi, sostenendo che il mondo ha ancora bisogno dell'Europa e che i cristiani, ovunque vivano, dovrebbero fare propria questa urgenza.<\/p>\n<p>Il testo si chiude con una citazione attribuita a Schuman: \u201cLa politica, quando vissuta come servizio disinteressato alla citt\u00e0 e alla persona umana, pu\u00f2 diventare un atto di amore verso il prossimo\u201d. Sulla base della loro fede, hanno detto i vescovi, i cristiani sono chiamati a condividere con tutti gli europei la loro speranza di fraternit\u00e0 universale.<\/p>\n<p>L'appello \u00e8 stato firmato dal Cardinale Jean-Marc Aveline di Marsiglia, Francia, presidente della Conferenza Episcopale Francese; dal Cardinale Matteo Maria Zuppi di Bologna, Italia, presidente della Conferenza Episcopale Italiana; dal Vescovo Georg B\u00e4tzing di Limburg, Germania, presidente della Conferenza Episcopale Tedesca; e dall'Arcivescovo Tadeusz Wojda di Danzica, Polonia, presidente della Conferenza Episcopale Polacca.<\/p>\n<p><em>Questa storia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acistampa.com\/story\/33775\/leuropa-deve-riscoprire-la-sua-anima-cristiana-lappello-dei-vescovi-del-continente\">\u00e8 stata pubblicata per la prima volta<\/a> di ACI Stampa, il servizio gemello in lingua italiana di EWTN News. \u00c8 stato tradotto e adattato da EWTN News English.<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewtnnews.com\/world\/europe\/europe-must-rediscover-its-christian-soul-bishops-urge-in-new-appeal\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.ewtnnews.com\/world\/europe\/europe-must-rediscover-its-christian-soul-bishops-urge-in-new-appeal<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of senior European bishops on Friday issued an appeal urging Europe to \u201crediscover its soul\u201d in response to what they described as a world \u201ctorn and polarized\u201d by war and violence.
