Ya gotta love Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput. He has attacked America's moral and theological loosening, and now he tells Europe what he thinks of their increasingly-godless ways. [Link](http://rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0%2C1299%2CDRMN%5F15%5F3843854%2C00.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Excerpts:

> Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput waved a red flag before an -international audience Thursday in Spain, accusing Europe of growing religious intolerance and abusing Christianity.

> "Europe has given the whole world the seeds of democracy," he told government ministers from 55 nations, according to a text of his speech. "Today's growing anti-religious and often anti-Christian spirit undermines that witness." . . .

> In his address, Chaput traced Europe's Christian roots and decried abandonment of that heritage by the continent's prevailing culture.

> Secularism has been a growing influence in Europe. The European Union's constitution makes no mention of the continent's Christian heritage. There also is momentum to extend euthanasia laws and marriage rights to gay couples.

> Chaput cited legal restrictions of religious expression and open contempt of religious symbols.

> "Programs like How To Cook a Crucifix (a show aired on Spanish TV last December), and sacramental confessions recorded without the confessor's knowledge are deeply contemptuous of Catholic believers," Chaput said.
