	The new Europe: No Catholics need apply
		Rocco Buttiglione, whom I am privileged to call a friend, is a distinguished philosopher, a successful governmental official, a devoted husband and father — and a serious, intellectually sophisticated Catholic.
		One parliamentarian informed Buttiglione that Rocco's conviction that homosexual relations were morally disordered was "in direct contradiction of European law." Buttiglione, ever the professor, reminded his inquisitor of Kant's distinction between morality and law and made clear his conviction that many things considered immoral should not be criminalized.
		Buttiglione's nomination as E.U. justice minister was rejected by one vote in the committee, whose role is merely advisory.

		Rocco Buttiglione, an Italian nomination for the Home Affairs portfolio within the new European Commission, is finding it difficult to secutre his nomination because of his private views on homosexuals.

	The Buttiglione case as seen by Buttiglione (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		ROCCO BUTTIGLIONE has held professorships at the International Academy of Philosophy in Liechtenstein and Saint Pius V University in Rome and has been a member of the Pontifical Academy of Social Science.
		Buttiglione is the best example of a dying breed of well intentioned democratic politicians, who are willing to impose their view of Christian morality on those of us who view Christian morality in rather a different light.
		Minister Buttiglione is correct: the "antiliberal perversion of liberalism" is what seems to be in ascendancy today in Europe (the EU is its vanguard!) and in the Democratic Party of the United States of America.When cultural values are esteemed more than religious values, we see the tectonic plates grind and feel the quaking.

		Buttiglione adds his voice to the chorus, claiming that the translator, Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, engaged in an "interpretative reading" of the book, virtually raising herself to the rank of coauthor.
		Buttiglione notes that Wojtyla could not, in Poland, carry out a head-on critique of Marx’s thought; nonetheless, the philosophy of praxis is everywhere in his writing.
		Overall, Buttiglione’s work provides an excellent study, exhaustively detailed, of the intellectual development and significant achievements of Karol Wojtyla from his student days to his election to the chair of Peter.

		Rocco Buttiglione, whom I am privileged to call a friend, is a distinguished philosopher, a successful governmental official, a devoted husband and father -- and a serious, intellectually sophisticated Catholic.

	Rocco Buttiglione Responds - The Moral Maze Part II
		Professor Rocco Buttiglione, Italian parliamentarian (currently Minister for Culture in Berlusconiâs outgoing government), hit the global headlines in October 2004 when his proposed candidature for the position of European Commissioner for Justice, Freedom and Security was blocked after M.E.Pâs objected to his conservative, catholic views on homosexuality and abortion.
		There is a valid secular ethic that operates in Europe with respect to sexual and racial minorities, so any public official whose private religious convictions are opposed to these values should refrain from serving in the public realmâ.
		A common refrain from conservatives and religious leaders is that the permissive society of the '60s and '70s has led to an erosion in 'moral values', and thus to a more violent and less cohesive society.

		The EU constitution, if it is ratified, will do much more to reshape the political landscape than the Buttiglione affair.
