” “"The political and institutional future of Europe can keep being built without too many halts and without too many useless compromises on condition Europe will be able to think of its own future and will think of it in really cultural terms". Lorenzo Ornaghi, rector of the Catholic University of Milan, spoke at the congress promoted by Comece about "Protecting life and human dignity". According to the speaker, from such perspective, "promoting life and human dignity does not only express the wish of reviving a value that belongs to an invaluable ideal heritage, making it relevant and digging up its Christian roots". The protection and promotion of life according to Ornaghi are rather "the prerequisite and the most effective way for Europe to prove it wants and can think of building its own future". Ornaghi warned about the "wrong belief" that "the political institutions are indifferent to any ethical content". "It is precisely the history of Europe specified the rector and its universal bent that teach us that everything is not the same, that there choices that are more important than others" and that "everything is not negotiable or available".” “
