Put God into the EU constitutional treaty

FOLLOWING last week’s meeting in Brussels of an inter-parliamentary group, the Irish public now have the opportunity to influence Europe’s decision-makers.

It was decided to gather a petition of one million signatures supporting inclusion of a reference to God and European Christian heritage in the proposed EU constitutional treaty.

As Europe attempts to define who we are, it cannot do so by denying a major component of our European identity. A Christian Europe is not a Europe exclusively for Christians, it is a Europe that acknowledges its heritage and its identity; a Europe that is not afraid to debate and engage Christian values.
