Le besoin de spiritualité chrétienne dans le contexte d’une Europe unie
The Need for Christian Spirituality in the Context of a United Europe

Summary/Abstract: In Strabo’s voice, Antiquity conveys to us that Europe, so varied in nature and naturally adapted, allows good development of people and states. Today we can already speak of European thought, politics, economy, etc., even if we cannot speak of a European nation or race, because Europe is a continent marked by plurality. The question arises, what could be the source of the unity of the European peoples? Could it be about the economy, does Europe secure subsistence through joint participation in capitalism? According to some scholars, this type of economy can be related to the emergence of Protestantism. Is the market economy characterized mainly by individualism or predominantly by a sense of communion? Can Christianity offer an economic and social solution? Two cities that do not offer something special to tourists, Iași and Lourdes, can barely hold the number of tourists at certain times of the year. They do not seek material satisfaction, but come for their thirst for infinity, to quench a religious necessity. Paulo Coelho sells millions of copies of his novels in over 150 countries around the world, could that be the very reason that he addresses subjects of a religious nature? It seems that people prefer to lose money to meet their immaterial needs.
