EWTN News reports (November 19, 2025) that the Clementy Schuman Legacy Foundation, operating from Vatican premises, proposed a “Schuman Plan 2.0” at the European Parliament. The initiative claims to revive the vision of Robert Schuman — declared “venerable” by Jorge Bergoglio in 2021 — advocating economic cooperation and “shared resources” among Northern Hemisphere nations to achieve peace. European Parliament member Niels Geuking framed it as necessary to “re-strengthen Europe’s political and social foundations,” while foundation chairman Pierre Louvrier asserted that sharing energy and technology would make war “redundant.” Board member Henri Malosse lamented Europe’s “moral crisis” of “egoism,” demanding renewed “solidarity.” The foundation cites Schuman’s 1950 call for “de facto solidarity” through coal and steel integration, which later birthed the European Union. Present at their Vatican roundtables were “high-level EU, U.S., Swiss, Russian, and Ukrainian nationals,” with “Monsignor” Bernard Ardura — postulator of Schuman’s “beatification” cause — providing ecclesiastical veneer.
