"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the most important thing that Belgium and the Belgian Presidency must now try to do is to respect the Treaty of Lisbon. The Treaty of Lisbon is inspired by the cultural, religious and humanist legacy of Europe from which the universal values and the inalienable rights of the person, freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law developed.
Alas, this six-month term has not begun well: it started with a violent eruption that is unprecedented in the history of the European Union, with the detainment of Catholic bishops meeting at the Archbishopric of Mechelen. Documents submitted under confessional oath by citizens who had expressly requested to remain anonymous were confiscated, and two cardinals’ crypts were profaned by jackhammers inside a church. If this is the start of the Belgian Presidency, it frightens me. It reminds me of what happened in 1997 when Belgium included Opus Dei and the Community of Sant’Egidio on a list of satanic cults."@en1
