"Mr President, Europe was too mono-focused on the euro, and this mammon is now on the verge of imploding. In its temples, called hedge funds, stock exchanges and bonus banks, people worked feverishly to keep the money altars up. We are now seeing all kinds of disasters occurring at the same time: rising unemployment coupled with high levels of public and private debt. Never in history have so many people been depressed. Europe traded in its Christian values of moderation, justice and compassion for money and goods. That is no basis for a sustainable existence and a sustainable economic policy. The forthcoming European Council would do well to address a couple of real questions of government, such as: how can we return to being a Europe of standards and values, what riches do our Christian roots have to offer and how can we become considerate stewards for our fellow human beings and creation? Let the debate about this begin so that a new and future-proof vision of Europe is born."@en1
