The forces BEHIND the European Union!

 The EU started as a Coal and Steel Union. This union - or plan, named after Robert Schumann, was called the Schumann Plan. The Coal and Steel Union was gradually turned into a political alliance, which was given the name the European Community (the EC; Article 211-219 TEC). Today we know it as the European Union (the EU). What will its next title be - "the United States of Europe"? Did you know that prominent Catholic politicians were dominant in the creation of the European Union - for example, the French pro-European strategist, Jean Monnet, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Robert Schumann, the German Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, the Italian President of Ministers, Alcide de Gasperi, etc.? The latter three were also leaders of the Catholic political parties in their respective countries, the Christian Democratic parties. Lars Bergqvist, the Swedish ambassador to the Vatican, said: "We should note that the EU was founded by devoted Catholics, such as Adenauer (German), Schumann (French) and de Gasperi (Italian). All of them had the union of Europe as an object." (This took place immediately after the Catholic leaders Hitler, Mussolini and Franco had failed in their attempts to do the same.)
