There has, remarkably, been a campaign for a few years now to beatify Robert Schuman, one of the two people who can be described as a founding father of what was to become the EU. Noted theologian Jacques Chirac has been pushing this idea, which now seems to have run into opposition from the Vatican. The Daily Telegraph has more, but the most interesting detail is the sinister, and, one hopes, disqualifying fact that Schuman “lived on eggs and lettuce.”

For a different view of the religious significance of the EU, go here. It turns out that Brussels is “preparing the base for the prince that shall come”, our old friend the Antichrist.

I knew it.
