What an amazing piece about how Europe's past should, and should not, shape our current European identity.

How can you say Europe's heritage is Judeo-Christian when the continent has known rampant antisemitism for two milenia?

How can you say democracy is a European value when Europe's history is full of dictatorships and authoritarian governments, aided by the Church?

Perhaps the past is not that inspiring for a positive identity.
