According to Bishop Mariano Crociata, chairman of the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Union (COMECE), “the Church must participate in the discussion of issues that shape the future of Europe.”

Klaus Welle, a well-known German politician and former Secretary General of the European Parliament, who attended the meeting, stated that “religious and political communities should seek common answers.”

The discussions focused on various topics, including the ethical challenges posed by the digital environment, personal data protection, the war in Ukraine, security, migration, and the persecution of Christians.
