"Madam President, I well understand the motives of my colleagues from the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe for tabling Amendment 2 on the fight against AIDS, and I would stress that, in general, I share these motives. However, I oppose this amendment. The Catholic Church is independent of the Member States and has the right to fight against AIDS in its own way, even if we believe that this could be done better. In essence, it is not fair and not reasonable to launch a fierce attack on the Pope just before the European elections. Doing so could cause deeper divisions in our societies and lead many people to call into question the value of their participation. Harsh condemnation by Parliament of the spiritual leader of millions and millions of believers would be a serious mistake."@en1
