Polish cardinal wants Virgin Mary as patron of European Parliament
If a Polish cardinal had his way, the Virgin Mary would be patron of the European Parliament, the daily Metro reported on Friday.
Cardinal Jozef Glemp first raised the idea in August, but now the proposal is also slated to be presented to the Commission of Episcopates of the European Union, the daily says.
The Virgin Mary last year became the patron of the Polish parliament, in a move that got wide support from both left- and right-wing politicians.
Poland - which has a Roman Catholic majority - had also strongly pushed to include a reference to Europe's "Christian roots" in the European Constitution.
