教皇利奥十四世将于周一在法国访问的最后一天向罗伯特·舒曼致敬。舒曼曾任法国外交部长，是欧洲一体化的奠基人之一。预计教皇将在致辞中重点阐述和平、团结以及塑造战后欧洲的各项原则。
Pope Leo XIV will use the final day of his visit to France on Monday to pay tribute to Robert Schuman – the French foreign minister who was one of the architects of European integration – in a message expected to focus on peace, unity and the principles that shaped post-war Europe.
教皇将于周一前往梅斯，出席一场跨宗教聚会，并在题为“欧洲之根，为了和平与团结”的会议上发表讲话。
The Pope will travel to Metz on Monday, where he is due to attend an interfaith gathering and address a conference entitled “At the roots of Europe, for peace and unity”.
选择这座法国东部城市与舒曼有着密切的联系。舒曼曾为后来欧盟的建立奠定了基础，他一生中大部分时间都在摩泽尔地区度过。
The choice of the eastern French city is closely linked to Schuman, who helped lay the foundations of what would become the European Union, and spent much of his life in the Moselle region.
此次访问正值欧洲面临乌克兰边境战争、地缘政治紧张局势，以及对欧盟内部虚假信息和政治分歧日益担忧之际，这使得舒曼关于持久和平取决于昔日对手之间务实合作的信念，再次引起了人们的共鸣。
The visit comes as Europe faces war at its borders in Ukraine, geopolitical tensions and growing concern over disinformation and political division within the EU – giving fresh resonance to Schuman’s belief that lasting peace depended on practical cooperation between former rivals.
教皇将欧盟奠基人罗伯特·舒曼推向封圣之路。舒曼受不断变化的边界影响，1886年出生于卢森堡，成长在一个因法德统治权更迭而屡次重塑的地区。他出生时是德国公民，第一次世界大战后，随着阿尔萨斯-洛林地区回归法国，他成为了法国公民。
Pope puts Robert Schuman, founding father of EU, on path to sainthood Shaped by shifting borders Born in Luxembourg in 1886, Schuman grew up in a region repeatedly shaped by shifts between French and German rule. He was born a German citizen and became French after the First World War, when Alsace-Lorraine was returned to France.
他受过法律专业训练，1912年在梅斯定居。战后他投身法国政坛，于1919年当选为摩泽尔地区的议员。
A lawyer by training, he settled in Metz in 1912 and entered French politics after the war, winning election as an MP for Moselle in 1919.
他的战时经历十分复杂。1940年，作为议会议员，他加入了投票授予菲利普·贝当元帅全权的大多数派。同年晚些时候，他被纳粹逮捕并监禁。他成功逃脱并隐姓埋名，随后参与了法国抵抗运动。
His wartime record was complex. In 1940, as a member of parliament, he joined the large majority that voted to grant full powers to Marshal Philippe Pétain. Later that year he was arrested and imprisoned by the Nazis. He escaped, went into hiding and became involved in the French Resistance.
战后，他重返国家政坛，在法兰西第四共和国担任过包括总理和外交部长在内的一系列高级职务。此后，他担任了欧洲议会大会主席。
After the war, he returned to national politics and held a series of senior posts under the Fourth Republic, including prime minister and foreign minister. He later became president of the European Parliamentary Assembly. But it was the declaration he delivered on 9 May 1950 that secured his place in European history.
但正是他在1950年5月9日发表的宣言，奠定了他在欧洲历史上的地位。
Inspired by French planner Jean Monnet, Schuman proposed pooling French and German coal and steel production under a common authority. The idea led to the European Coal and Steel Community, bringing together France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg and creating the first building block of today’s European Union.
受法国规划师让·莫内启发，舒曼提议将法国和德国的煤炭和钢铁生产置于一个共同管理机构之下。这一构想促成了欧洲煤钢共同体的成立，将法国、西德、意大利、比利时、荷兰和卢森堡聚集在一起，奠定了当今欧洲联盟的第一块基石。
Inspired by French planner Jean Monnet, Schuman proposed pooling French and German coal and steel production under a common authority. The idea led to the European Coal and Steel Community, bringing together France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg and creating the first building block of today’s European Union.
宣言称：“如果不做出与威胁世界和平的危险相称的创造性努力，世界和平就无法得到维护。”宣言还主张，欧洲将通过创造国家间真正团结的“具体成就”来建设。
“World peace cannot be safeguarded without creative efforts commensurate with the dangers that threaten it,” the declaration said. It also argued that Europe would be built through “concrete achievements” that created genuine solidarity between states.
欧洲日：关键选举前民粹主义抬头与局势变幻 “英勇美德” 舒曼从1926年生活到1963年在斯希-沙泽尔去世，这是一个俯瞰梅斯的村庄，他以前的住所现在是一座博物馆。正是在那里，他起草了后来成为欧洲一体化奠基性文本的宣言。附近的一个中心追溯了法德和解与欧洲项目发展的历程。
Europe Day: rise of populism and shifting dynamics ahead of crucial elections 'Heroic virtue' Schuman lived from 1926 until his death in 1963 in Scy-Chazelles, a village overlooking Metz, where his former home is now a museum. It was there that he worked on the declaration that would become a founding text of European integration. A nearby centre traces Franco-German reconciliation and the development of the European project.
教皇利奥的访问也与舒曼的天主教信仰密切相关。这位终身未婚、曾考虑成为神甫的人，以将深刻的个人宗教信念与公共服务相结合而闻名。
Pope Leo’s visit is also closely tied to Schuman’s Catholic faith. A lifelong bachelor who once considered becoming a priest, he was known for combining a deeply personal religious conviction with public service.
2021年，教皇方济各认定舒曼一生践行了“英勇美德”，授予他“可敬者”称号——这是天主教会追封圣人程序中的重要一步。预计利奥不会前往斯希-沙泽尔的圣康坦教堂瞻仰舒曼的墓地，因为教会官员表示，教皇不希望此次访问被视为干预追封圣人程序，该程序需要认定一个归因于舒曼转祷的奇迹。
In 2021, Pope Francis recognised Schuman as having lived a life of “heroic virtue”, granting him the title of Venerable – an important step in the Catholic Church’s process towards possible beatification. Leo is not expected to visit Schuman’s grave at the Church of Saint-Quentin in Scy-Chazelles, as Church officials say the Pope does not want the visit to be seen as interfering with the beatification process, which would require recognition of a miracle attributed to Schuman’s intercession.
法国主教团认为，教皇利奥访问梅斯旨在推动欧洲回归舒曼1950年宣言所确立的原则——和解、团结与
French bishops maintain Pope Leo’s visit to Metz is intended to encourage Europe to return to the principles set out in Schuman’s 1950 declaration – reconciliation, solidarity and the prevention of conflict.
