Written in late 2004, shortly before Joseph Ratzinger's election as
Pope Benedict XVI, this book addresses the serious issues concerning
the new European Union and the drafting of a European Constitution,
events with far-reaching consequences for the West and, indeed, the
world.
The main questions Cardinal Ratzinger raise include: How did Europe
originate and what are its boundaries? Who has the right to call
himself European and be admitted into the new Europe? What about the
spiritual roots of Europe and the moral foundation she is founded on?
Ratzinger sees the lack of focus on these fundamental
questions in the formation of a new Europe as a grave problem for the
future of Europe and the world. Europe's link to America and the rest
of the world make these questions and reflections by the current
Pontiff of critical importance in facing the future together.
