Summary/Abstract: The notion of the importance of the cause for the Church (momentum ecclesiale) was the subject both theoretical and practical studies – regarding the cases completed with the act of beatification or canonization. Therefore, in the first part of the article were characterized only selected aspects of legal and canonization issues (I), particularly involving the beatification processes of a Servants of God – Robert Schuman and Alcide De Gasperi. The status of these cases was presented in the second part (II). Their importance for the Church and Europe was shown in the last part of the article (III).It has been clearly stated that the possible beatification will not concern the European Union, an international party or a particular political party, but it will be in the Church and towards the Church (coram Ecclesia). Of course, their message will be sent also to all people of good will. It will be the beatification/canonization of person, not institution, even if that person created or guided it. It will be the beatification due to the fact of the proven virtues of the person, not for his/her decisions, including the political ones even these unsuccessful, sometimes mistakenly interpreted many years later.
