Why Thomas More?
The choice of Thomas More as a symbolic reference naturally lay with the founders of the Institute. A humanist and prominent European figure, Thomas More (1478-1535) was made a Patron Saint of politics, statesmen and politicians by Pope John-Paul II in 2000. Throughout his life and right up until his death, he showed what it is possible to achieve with the courage of one’s convictions and confidence in one’s actions. His life was exemplary, a lesson, an inspiration. |
