"Church can give soul to Europe" says cardinal
Rome, May. 23, 2006 (CNA) - Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo Sodano said he believes the Church can give a soul to Europe."The Church, without interfering in politics, can give a soul to this Europe. A Europe without a soul cannot exist, because it would not exist if there was not the Christianity," he reportedly told the Religious Information Service.
The cardinal spoke with the news service while in Sofia for the consecration of the new cathedral new Cathedral of St. Joseph. It was built on the same site as the old cathedral, which was destroyed during World War II. During the Communist era, authorities never permitted its reconstruction, so the faithful celebrated mass in a theatre for over 60 years.
Construction of the new cathedral began July 2, 2002. It can accommodate up to 350 people.
