Cardinal Renato Martino, the president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, suggested that the people of Ireland should reconsider their referendum vote against the Lisbon Treaty, according to Mexico’s El Provenir newspaper. “Europe cannot only be an economic community,” Cardinal Martino said.
“With this constitution [the Lisbon Treaty] it wants something more.”
El Provenir interpreted the Italian prelate’s words as a statement of support for the Lisbon Treaty, and criticism of the Irish people for what he saw as a denial of their common European experience.
