14.- STANDING OVATION "The time has come for us to abandon the idea of a Europe which is fearful and self-absorbed, in order to revive and encourage a Europe of leadership, a repository of science, art, music, human values and faith as well. A Europe which contemplates the heavens and pursues lofty ideals. A Europe which cares for, defends and protects man, every man and woman. A Europe which bestrides the earth surely and securely, a precious point of reference for all humanity! Thank you!” RomeReports

P.S.-  MEP Mizzi responds to opponents of the Pope speaking there.....
"MEP Mizzi pointed out that Pope Francis is not only a religious leader, but is
also a Head of State, and he should be received with the courtesy normally accorded to Heads of State by the EP, as had been done on other numerous occasions.
Mizzi further stated that ‘’nobody is obliged to agree with his religion or politics. Nobody is obliged to accept his ethics or opinions. But few would doubt that the message of this man will be that of unity, peace and goodwill – values which should be everybody’s irrespective of political or religious beliefs”." Independent

When was the last time the head of the Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopal, Presbyterian, 7th Day Adventist, Orthodox, or other church was allowed to speak to the EU?
  Pope Francis isn't the Little Horn (of Daniel) or the Beast (of Revelation) but he is the head of that entity-Papal Rome

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;
1798
and his deadly wound was healed:
Since 1798
and all the world wondered after the beast.
Today
Revelation 13:3
