It always make me sad and irritated (the latter feeling is wrong, I know, but I can't help it) to see the moral direction where Europe is heading (and, unfortunately, spreading it through the world), but it gives me hope to see that there are still moral leaders in Europe who refuse to compromise their principles and take their faith very seriously. The first is, obviously, Pope Benedict XVI, but there's also Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, Prince Philippe of Belgium and several other royals and non-royals. I hope they keep their courage when they have to defend their faith and principles.Jorgenoreply@blogger.com
