German Chancellor Wants Christian Roots In EU Constitution
After meeting with Pope Benedict XVI, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said
that Europe needs a constitution that reflects its Christian roots, arguing
that "Christianity has forged Europe in a decisive way". Merkel, the daughter
of Protestant minister, will assume the European Union's rotating presidency
next year. Her views are supported by Spain, Italy and Poland, but mention of
Christianity in the document is opposed by France, Britain, Sweden and
Denmark. Merkle's position also creates problems for largely-Muslim Turkey as
a potential EU member. Merkel's remarks are reported by ANSA, the Guardian,
and UK's Muslim News.
