The Iron Curtain still exists. It is in a different way, but it exists again.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n<p>The cardinal's remarks came during the presentation of the European Apostolic Congress on Mercy, which will begin in Rome on March 30th and end on April 4th. During the event, there will be reflections on mercy in different fields, from the spiritual to political. The example of Catholic politicians like Robert Schuman will be studied. He was one of the 'fathers\u00e2?\u009d of the European Union, whose process of beatification is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>CARD.
