Abbe Pierre, who was often considered France's most popular person, was a humanist who was known for his work with the homeless.
He was born on August 5, 1912 in Lyon, in a prosperous and devout Catholic family. His name was Henry Grosse at the time of his birth. From an early age, he was inspired to follow a religious life and joined Capuchin monks in 1930. He lived for eight years, but, partly due to ill health, he struggled with disciplined and ascetic life. Therefore, he left and became a priest in Grenoble. In 1942, he joined the resistance and helped hide the Jewish members of the community from Nazi and Vichi police. After all, he was arrested, but he managed to escape and headed to North Africa to join Free French under the leadership of Charles de Gaulle.
In the post-war period, AB Pierre became a member of the French National Assembly, but felt that he was able to achieve very little. Therefore, in 1949 he decided to leave and establish a charity amenas. The purpose of his charity was to help the homeless find shelter. However, he saw the traditional approach of charity with almost contempt. He felt that the most effective donation was when others were helped to help themselves. If the donation was merely a condescending gift to the poor person, then he thought that besides cheering the consciousness of the rich, it would be of little benefit. The British-based version of Emmons says that its philosophy is "one of the reasons for people to bedding and get out of it".
His charity also had a left wing association because he thought resources received from donations should come from unnecessary surveys of the rich. He was later criticized for his politics, in response he said: "(I) did not know anything left and right, the only extreme support I have towards heaven."
In 1954, he broadcast aired radio from the homeless. His words touched a rage with the French public
"My friend, help me, a woman dies at 3 o'clock in the morning on the sidewalk of Boulevard Sebastopol, the day she was evicted from the house ...
Ebe Pierre became unofficial spokesman of the homeless. He was seen crossing the country's religious and political differences and he was appreciated by various sources. To present the best aspects of a living Catholic religion, he was praised by the Catholics. At the same time, he was also praised for his strong criticism of Catholic Church's conservatism. He spoke in favor of using condoms and was a supporter of gay rights. They did not support the purity applied to the priests.
For many years, he lived in the eyes of people, but he did not like the fame that was related to his role. For several years, he was out of limelight publicly, spent time in the semi-retreat. However, when he returned to public headlines in the mid-1980s, speaking on issues such as homelessness, his message got re-extensive and popular support. It seems that many people remembered their initial message in the 1950s. Abbe Pierre also became a strong spokesman against Joe Ley Penn's nationalist approach. Abbe Pierre disagreed that French migrants can be pinned on. By the end of his life, he supported the cause of immigrants, especially in connection with housing.
In spite of his strong opposition to the Jewish people from the Nazis and to the distant rights in France, AB Pierre was dragged into a dispute to support his longtime friend Roger Geroudi. Roger wrote a book claiming that Israel had exaggerated the extent of the Holocaust and used it as an excuse for misbehaving Palestinians. However, despite this episode, his reputation for men's equality was generally lower because of his honesty and fervent belief.
In the last years of his life, he was often chosen the most popular person in France. He actually asked the "young generation to allow" to be nominated to stop being nominated. His successor was Zinedine Zidan, football player and immigrant to North Africa.
His death united France to pay homage to a unique character, which brought together many opposition groups, in particular, he was a representative of the Catholic Church, who was able to appeal despite being anti-Catholic. He stood for the privilege of serving others and "living in the Christian philosophy of doing the same to others as you would have done it yourself."
