University Training in the Thought of G. B. Montini-Pablo VI During His Period as Assistant to the FUCI (1925-1933)

Giovanni B. Montini-Pablo VI was a national assistant of the Italian Catholic University Federation between 1925 and 1933. He developed an intense educational work and exposed his pedagogical thought in numerous articles. The objectives of this paper are to expose this educational thought and demonstrate the direct relationship between the training of these university students and the emergence of a generation of committed politicians who joined the Christian Democracy and held important responsibilities after fascism. We analyze his vital, ecclesial, and political context characterized by the turbulent relationship with fascism. We describe his intellectual, cultural, theological, liturgical, spiritual, and social formative design. We study his intellectual, philosophical, and theological influences and the confrontation with the philosophies that dominated the university panorama of the moment. Finally, we consider his pedagogical influence on the young people who raised a new social and political order in Italy after fascism.
