Pope has no place in EU parliament, says parliamentarian
D66 MEP Sophie in ‘t Veld has called on the chairman of the European parliament Jerzy Buzek to withdraw an invitation to the pope to address the gathering.
The parliament is a place where important decisions affecting 500 million Europeans are taken, regardless of their beliefs and religion, In ‘t Veldhuis is quoted as saying in the Telegraaf.
