Christianity has no place in EU constitution

RONÁN MULLEN (Irish Examiner, June 11) assumes not only that all Irish people worth considering have an unconditionally supportive attitude towards Christianity, but that the same is true of the rest of Europe.

Christianity has no place in EU constitution

Complaining about the proposed new European constitution he has the following: “The current preamble, written by Giscard himself, refers to cultural, religious and humanist inheritance of Europe which (was) nourished first by the civilisations of Greece and Rome and later by philosophical currents of the Enlightenment. Spot the gap?”

I don’t spot any gap. He is, of course, referring to the failure to mention Christianity as a positive contribution to European civilisation.
