"Mr President, I should like to pay tribute before this House to the Holy Father John Paul II. He was accompanied on his final journey by the millions of believers and non-believers who paid their respects in Rome, as well as by countless others throughout the world who followed events in the media. Through his intimate union with God, and in keeping with his motto
Pope John Paul II’s actions showed us God’s will in shaping civilisation, life and love. In his roles as priest, bishop, cardinal and pope he defended life from conception to natural death, as well as the dignity and rights of every individual and of entire nations, whilst reminding us that democracy without values can quickly turn into open or disguised totalitarianism.
The Holy Father John Paul II reminded us that only a Europe that rediscovers its Christian roots, instead of doing away with them, will be able to rise to the great challenges of the third millennium. These challenges include peace, dialogue between cultures and religions and the safeguarding of creation. Let us pray to God for the Holy Father, and also for a united Europe of fatherlands rooted in Christian values."@en1
