	Union of Christian and Centre Democrats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Union of Christian and Centre Democrats (Italian: Unione dei Democratici Cristiani e dei Democratici di Centro, UDC) is christian-democratic political party in Italy.
		The party was formed in 2002 by a merger of the former Christian Democratic Centre (CCD, led by Pierferdinando Casini from 1994 to 2001, then by Marco Follini), United Christian Democrats (CDU, a split of Italian People's Party, led by Rocco Buttiglione from 1995) and European Democracy (DE, founded by Sergio D'Antoni).
		The party's strategy is very similar to that of the Union for French Democracy, which holds an uneasy alliance with a much bigger partner, the Union for a Popular Movement, as UDC with Forza Italia, and believes as well in a government beyond the left-right divide.

		Christian Democrat leader Alf Svensson, who did well in Friday's TV-debate, was also introduced as "Sweden's next prime minister" before his last campaign speech on Saturday.
		A Social Democrat win in Sweden, which belongs to the European Union but has not joined the euro single currency and is not a NATO member, would put the country at odds with nations such as France, Denmark, Italy and Portugal which have moved to the right in elections in the last two years.
		The Social Democrats' central campaign theme is that Sweden's taxes, among the highest in the world, are needed to maintain and improve public services such as health, care of children and the elderly, education and crime prevention.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Union of Christendom
		The Christians of the present day who represent the former populations of the three splendid Patriarchates of Antioch, Alexandria, and Jerusalem are few in number, and fall into five classes.
		Certainly the centre of the world's culture and civilization, religious as well as civil, was then on the Hellespont, and it may be that even in actual numbers the subjects of this one patriarchate surpassed the hordes of half-converted barbarians (as they would have called them) who formed the populations of the new Western kingdoms.
		By this Union a considerable portion of the Ruthenians, the race that had formed the original nucleus of the Russian Empire, was officially reunited with the Holy See, but it was not for some time, and after the fiercest opposition, that the main body of that people were gained over to the union.

		The goal then is to dominate the European Union while pandering to cultural diversity, and, since its earlier years, Germany and France have largely been in a position to do just that.
		Schröder is low in the polls, and the recent blow for the Social Democrats in traditionally loyal Hamburg reflects this.
		But just as they were mistaken on the degree of coherence between France and Germany, they were also mistaken in thinking that the national concerns of EU members had become so irrelevant as to expect their fellow Europeans to roll over on command.

		Like many of her freshman Democratic colleagues in the Senate and the House of Representatives, McCaskill defies the long-standing stereotype of Democrats as the party of San Francisco liberals.
		To be sure, the newly elected Democrats share key principles with their more traditionally liberal colleagues, mainly a concern for economic justice as Democrats define it, such as raising the minimum wage and protecting entitlement programs, especially Social Security.
		Many new congressional Democrats "promised they won't raise our taxes, demanded fiscal responsibility and attacked their GOP opponents for their participation in the spending binge that has characterized Washington in recent years," said David Keene, the chairman of the American Conservative Union.

		Christians need to look at themselves through the eyes of Jews -- particularly, through the eyes of those who were herded into boxcars and slaughtered like cattle in the holocaust.
		William Fisher at Truthout has posted an outstanding essay entitled "Where are the Christians?" He is concerned about the silent complicity of Christians in the media in response to Rep.

		Speaking up for and befriending the ancient Christian communities of the Middle East is good for them and for Muslims too; it's a reminder of the healthier and saner relationship between the faiths that existed in many parts of the Middle East for long tracts of its complicated history.

	Andrew Cusack: November 2004 Archives
		Italy nominated Rocco Buttiglione – a father of four with a long record of political service in the Italian parliament for the Union of Christian and Centre Democrats party as well as in the European institutions who speaks English, French, German, and Polish in addition to his native Italian – to a position as commissioner.
		As their television screens relayed pictures of unprecedented queues snaking for several blocks around polling stations, the élite leaped to the egotistic, patronising conclusion that the common people had come swarming out, like extras in an Eisenstein film, to implement the revolution that their betters had devised for them.
		They were mostly Christians; but they were not, for the most part, bible-thumping disciples of white-suited tele-evangelists - at least not in the states that crucially mattered.
