The past was more Christian? At times perhaps, in others, though, no.
From Rocco Buttiglione
For Europe, the fall of Communism has to be taken into account, and the fact that in the fight against Communism the recovery of Europe's Christian roots was the driving force.
Priests have to have the right to say that a sin is a sin.
I think the State shouldn't poke its nose into the sexual relations of consenting adults.
The family has a social function and so it should be sustained.
That's possible, and in fact the legislation, the politics should graduate the advantages towards those who have children and give less to those who don't have children.
If you search for poverty, you'll find it, often in the family. Why? Because the family makes this great investment, from which we all benefit, but for which no-one helps. We have to point the spotlight on the family, and make political choices that sustain the family.
