Spiritual political leadership refers to politics as the art of governing, which takes into account full and comprehensive human development and enables self-realization of citizens. It satisfies the ultimate aspiration of the human being to achieve intellectual and moral perfection, which reaches its highest state in holiness, the result of human connection with the perfection of God. The goal of spiritual political leadership is a happy society, one in which everyone has the opportunity for self-realization, while at the same time respecting the self-realization of others. It promotes social harmony, which comes from cooperation among different groups within society and is an alternative to today’s disharmony resulting from political conflict. Once the practical value of spiritual political leadership is recognized, a practical postulate follows: leaders of the European Union and of individual European countries should abandon the modernist trend of secularization and participate fully in the development of Christian civilization, which can unify humanity around the world on an ethical level, and should always have in mind the highest universal values and the ultimate goal of human life. The time has come to rebuild the strength of Christianity in Europe and to build in our countries social harmony that can radiate to other countries and continents.
