What can the Church do? If she stands by her moral teaching, then she will be seen as standing in judgement over a vast percentage of Europeans.

Indeed if we Christians so tell our story that Judaism is silenced, then we have not spoken rightly of Christ.

At the centre of Christianity is community; we are gathered by the Lord around the altar.

Seeking the good is not primarily about rules and commandments.

Thinking that morality is all about commandments is a relatively new way of thinking, since the Reformation.

Any deep-rooted prejudice against others, such as homophobia or misogyny, would be grounds for rejecting a candidate for the priesthood, but not their sexual orientation.

Christians can bring peace to multi-religious Europe because we are able to understand the role of faith in the lives of other believers better than atheists.
