      Jestem mile zaszokowany.

      Jak co roku Jan Pawel II spotkal sie z korpusem dyplomatycznym akredytowanym
      przy Stolicy Apostolskiej i wyglosil okolicznosciowe przemowienie. Zazwyczaj (a
      czytam te przemowienia od ladnych paru lat) Ojciec Swiety bardzo cieplo wyrazal
      sie o rozszerzeniu Unii. Tym razem potraktowal temat na tyle zdawkowo ze zadne
      eurofanskie media nawet sie o wydarzeniu nie zajaknely. I slusznie.

      Kosciol "stygnie" wobec rozszerzenia i pisac o czym nie ma.

      Ponizej fragment poswiecony Europie w w tekscie tegorocznym, na dole dla
      porownania fragment przemowienia zeszlorocznego.

      Pozdrawiam

      Today’s Europe, which is at once united and enlarged. Europe has succeeded in
      tearing down the walls which disfigured her. She has committed herself to
      planning and creating a new reality capable of combining unity and diversity,
      national sovereignty and joint activity, economic progress and social justice.
      This new Europe is the bearer of the values which have borne fruit for two
      thousand years in an "art" of thinking and living from which the whole world
      has benefitted. Among these values Christianity holds a privileged position,
      inasmuch as it gave birth to a humanism which has permeated Europe’s history
      and institutions. In recalling this patrimony, the Holy See and all the
      Christian Churches have urged those drawing up the future Constitutional Treaty
      of the European Union to include a reference to Churches and religious
      institutions. We believe it desirable that, in full respect of the secular
      state, three complementary elements should be recognized: religious freedom not
      only in its individual and ritual aspects, but also in its social and
      corporative dimensions; the appropriateness of structures for dialogue and
      consultation between the Governing Bodies and communities of believers; respect
      for the juridical status already enjoyed by Churches and religious institutions
      in the Member States of the Union. A Europe which disavowed its past, which
      denied the fact of religion, and which had no spiritual dimension would be
      extremely impoverished in the face of the ambitious project which calls upon
      all its energies: constructing a Europe for all!

      Among reasons for satisfaction, one must surely mention the progressive
      unification of Europe, recently symbolized by the adoption of a single currency
      by twelve countries. This is a decisive step in the long history of this
      continent. But it is also important that the expansion of the European Union
      should continue to be a priority. I am likewise aware that the question has
      been raised about the expediency of a Constitution for the Union. In this
      regard, it is essential to make increasingly explicit the goals of the process
      of building up Europe and the values on which it must rest. Hence it is that,
      with some regret, I have noted that, no explicit mention was made of
      communities of religious believers among the partners who are to contribute to
      the reflection on the "Convention" instituted at the Laeken summit last month.
      The marginalization of religions, which have contributed and continue to
      contribute to the culture and humanism of which Europe is legitimately proud,
      strikes me as both an injustice and an error of perspective. To recognize an
      indisputable historical fact in no way means to disregard the modern demand for
      States to have an appropriate non-confessional character, and therefore Europe
      as well!
