Some Christians do have a view, including the view of Europe expressed by Tony Bennett, a member of the small UK Independence Party, in the last issue of EN.
He worries about a number of things.
The Catholic influence
This is waning rapidly. Catholics from Spain, Ireland and Italy say that the young no longer go to mass and congregations are dwindling fast. The party with the closest links to the Catholic church, the Italian Christian democrats, has folded completely. But, politically, Catholics can be allies, too. In European debates on moral issues, all professing Christians unite against the secular humanists who dominate today's public agenda.
A threat to the monarchy
There are seven monarchs in the EU (four from Protestant countries) and eight presidents. No one in the EU is going to take time off to try to alter the prerogatives of heads of state. If there is a threat to our next Coronation oath, it will be from within Britain, not from outside.
