Rezensionen

"This is a timely book on an important social theme, the relations between the European Union and the Roman Catholic church. ... a valuable contribution to interdisciplinary social research which will be of interest to anyone concerned with the evolution of attitudes to the European project, or to the role of religion or the Catholic church, within the EU." (Douglas Mark Ponton, Journal of Language and Politics, Vol. 15 (5), 2016)
