COMECE REPORT
In these times of crisis the EU was recently honoured with the Nobel Peace Prize.

Which questions, hopes and expectations should be addressed to the Church? Is the Church able to address these challenges and does it have an appropriate answer to meet the expectations?

What in this regard has the Church in common with - and what distinguishes the Church from - other players in this field?
