The hot air festival of the year
Imagine the most tedious 'in a very real sense' Radio Four 'Thought for the Day', and I doubt it will come close to this gabfest:
"an informal dialogue took place on 5 May in the headquarters of the European Commission, bringing together around twenty high-level representatives of Christianity, Judaism and Islam in Europe...This year, discussions centred around "Climate change: an ethical challenge for all cultures". President Barroso declared: "Climate change obliges all of us to take urgent action. Each part of civil society must contribute to ensuring a sustainable future of our planet. Thanks to their outreach and role in our societies, religions and communities of belief are well placed to make a valuable contribution in mobilising them for a sustainable future".
I hope it was recorded, as it could probably double up as, at the very least, a useful interrogation tool, and possibly a psyops weapon in the field.
I almost feel sorry for Barroso.

"Thanks to their outreach and role in our societies, religions and communities of belief"...
I'd never thought of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic as an outreach. Few problems here, with its one flock, one shepherdiness, not to mention all "fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God"liness, etc.
Nothing multi or cultural about the One.
