Pope warns of Europe's "demographic profile"

Dallas Blog | Tom Pauken:
“ "Europe appears to be losing faith in its own future, Pope Benedict XVI said Saturday, warning against 'dangerous individualism' on a continent where many people are having fewer children." In an AP story, the pontiff is quoted as telling a gathering of bishops in Rome marking the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome that "one must unfortunately note that Europe seems to be going down a road which could lead it to take its leave from history." ”
Ed Cognoski responds:

Not to worry. Muslim immigration can both replenish the population and take care of the Western European liberal democratic "dangerous individualism" that the pope and Tom Pauken decry. ;-)
