On 5 June, the Chaplain-President, in his capacity as Bishop Robert's adviser for EU affairs, attended and participated in a round table organised by Comece at the Chapelle de l'Europe with the title "Governmental responsibility and personal ethos". This apparently heavy title did not prevent a lively and fascinating debate, with the main speakers being Herman Van Rompuy (former president of the European Council) and Prince Lorenz (King Philippe's brother-in-law). Count Van Rompuy spoke about the constitutional crisis in Belgium in 1990 concerning King Baudouin's opposition to the parliamentary decision to legalise abortion. Prince Lorenz spoke about his grandfather's (Charles I of Austria, beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2004) personal ethical and faith journey in the wake of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I. There was loud applause at the end for an evening full of insight.
