Is it not worrying in itself that European Christianity is now barely able to keep Europe Christian? If we lose sight of this, the idea of Europe could become a minority interest in its own continent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Europe and European identity is rooted in Christianity.
It is evident that the Church is always abandoning more the old traditional structures of European life and, therefore, is changing its appearance and living new forms in itself. It's clear most of all that the de-Christianization of Europe is progressing, that the Christian element is always vanishing more from the fabric of society.
What we need in Europe is to push back against the idea that religion is so farfetched that it's not worth talking about.
What sort of Europe do we want to have? Parallel societies? Muslim communities living together with the Christian community?
The Christian Coalition is still about Christianity, even if it's an idea of Christianity that many Christians might not go along with.
Perhaps Europeans are a bit more skeptic whereas Americans are more believers.
The next challenge for Christianity is to remind Europeans that we are called to seek the truth.
Christians can bring peace to multi-religious Europe because we are able to understand the role of faith in the lives of other believers better than atheists.
To be brutally frank, I mean Christianity is dying in Europe, and Islam is on the rise.
It is true that Christianity is not bound up with any particular race or culture. It is neither of the East or of the West, but has a universal mission to the human race as a whole.
