Italian writers expose anti-Christian agenda
Wolfgang Polzer has written an article about how two Italian writers, Eugenia Roccella and Lucetta Scaraffia, have collaborated in writing a book exposing the anti-Christian (more specifically anti-Catholic) agenda of both the European Union and the United Nations titled Against Christianity: The UN and the EU as a New Ideology. Both entities wish to replace the Christian faith with their own New Age-like religious message, according to the authors.
The writers also note the double-standards when it comes to religious persecution. While the E.U. and U.N. are more than willing to strongly condemn the suppression of the Falun Gong movement in China, both are silent when it comes to persecutions of Christians around the world.
This certainly is good news that a book on this topic has been written, although to be fair similar remarks have been made elsewhere. For example, Mary Jo Anderson wrote a piece about this very topic for Crisis Magazine back in June of 2003. Hopefully these Italian writers were able to add new material to the discussion.

Yes ideally. Sadly many Catholics(and even non-Catholics oddly) seem to believe that the EU constitutes a reconstruction of the Holy Roman Empire.
As for restoring the Imperial throne as opposed to a national monarchy, we need to remember that the Holy Roman Empire largely centered on the German people and both Adrian Hastings and Susan Renyolds argue that it was from the Holy Roman Empire that the notion of a German national identity emerged. In fact over time it was clearly referred to as the Holy Roman Empire of the German peoples.
So I dont think the two are necessarily opposed. Certainly a restoration of the Empire would see itself as a united community of nations as opposed to one nation. This certainly was the case with the Austro-Hungarian empire.
My own people, the Ukrainians, were ruled by the Hasburg and their were mixed results. On one hand we were allowed autonomy and development of our national culture, but they also often left us at the mercy of the Poles.
Then there's the issue of possible Balkanization. It's a complex situation really.
