I got the idea for this post, and perhaps a few others like it, from a trip I took with my mother a few months back. I took her to Montreal, because she had mentioned in passing that she had always wanted to see La Basilique de Notre Dame, but had never been able to, sigh, and now it looked like she would never get to see it, etc etc.

In the mail today comes a paperback copy of Father James Martin’s book, Between Heaven and Mirth, and since I liked it so well when I read it the first time, I flipped through it again over lunch, and re-discovered this quote from St. Teresa of Avila:“From silly devotions and sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us.”Ah, I thought.

The bishops confirmed the conviction that Europe needs Christianity and that Christians have a special responsibility for the future of Europe.Below the full text of their concluding statement: The concerns of the European bishops:The European crisis is not just economic but first of all anthropological At the root of the current crisis situation which the European continent is experiencing lie not only the serious problems connected with the economic-financial systems, but above all the lack of an anthropological and social vision focused on solidarity and subsidiarity.
