Therefore, Enrique Ernesto Shaw understood the company as a community of people for profit. Eva Giberti, a pioneer in psychology and gender studies in Argentina, has died. Today, such actions have earned him recognition from the Church, which began in 2021 when then-Pope Francis declared him venerable; but these were not the only decisions he made. Pope Leo XIV authorized the beatification of Enrique Shaw.
What other social marks did Shaw leave that today lead to his beatification? In Argentina, he was the one who promoted the family wage, which was a modernist action for the time, as it not only took into account the recognition of the worker, but also included financial support for his family that allowed them to have dignity in their daily lives.
Shaw and his relationship between Christianity and business In addition to the above, Enrique Shaw was not only the founder of the Christian Association of Business Leaders (ACDE), but also its first president, and from that role, he promoted the Social Doctrine of the Church in the Argentine economic world. This was another of the actions that lead him today to be chosen for beatification, since from his position he did good.
The historical fact linking Shaw to his beatification That priest who advised him belonged to the diocese of Chicago, to which the current Pope Leo also belonged.
The political persecution of Shaw The life full of peace and harmony that I proposed and carried out was not literally so for him, since in 1955, the same religious persecution and burning of churches in the confrontation between the State and the Church in Argentina led to the detention of Enrique Shaw due to his Catholic condition, with which he was related and committed, as well as for his explicit and public fidelity to the faith.
Shaw suffered from cancer and died young at the age of 41 in 1962.
He died young, but his social commitment left a mark on humanity, and today, 64 years after his death, his memory will be grateful for by the Vatican. Although Shaw was not a priest, he had a deep commitment to Catholicism that led him, through his individual and social action, to mark an era in his short life in the world of business and in his role as an officer in the Navy, but also as a husband and father of nine children.
For Shaw, according to Agencia Noticias Argentinas, work was an action that had to be at the service of and for the dignity of people, in such a way that he was the one who promoted dialogue, justice, and respect as fundamental pillars of human relations in the workplace, even in hostile contexts where social conflict emerged.
Buenos Aires, December 18 (NA) - Pope Leo XIV authorized the beatification of the Argentine Enrique Shaw, and he will be one of the 12 recognized. In that context, his motto was that faith and business were more than compatible, but had to be integrated; to the point that he tried to leave the company to be part of the workers, but a priest stopped his will, arguing that his task was to generate changes in the company from within.
