lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I voted to adopt the Constitution, but at the same time I wish to express my unhappiness that our Christian heritage is hardly mentioned. In the debate on the subject there has been a general misunderstanding of the nature of the mention it gets. This is not a matter of a declaration of faith, but an acknowledgement of the basis of our ethical infrastructure. God does not need the protection afforded by the articles in the Constitution – it is not a question of that – but human beings do. Defence of the weak cannot be justified in an Aristotelian way, with merely rational arguments. For that reason, I think we ought to have acknowledged the role of Christianity behind the concept of European humanity. The type of humanism we know today owes much to the Christian image of humanity that emphasises the value of the individual. We need a firm basis for our great dreams of a fair Europe. Hopefully we will be able to continue to help it develop."@en1
