COMPETING VISIONS OF EUROPE

Read NR's account of two speeches delivered on the same day earlier this month hundreds of miles apart. On one side, the president of the European Council and on the other, the successor to Saint Peter. Each attempted to offer a view of the transcendent values of the old Continent. One babbled about "diversity is our strength" and the other pointed to the values of "the followers of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jesus." One argument was better than the other.
