Pope Benedict XVI formally created a new Vatican office Tuesday to revive Christianity in Europe, his latest attempt to counter secular trends in traditionally Christian countries.
In a decree, Benedict said the new office would promote church doctrine, use the media to get the church's message out and mobilize missionary-type activities.
I'd think that Europeans aren't ready to work that hard. But perhaps Christianity in Europe is only mostly dead and not all dead. That makes all the difference in the world, I hear.
Defend the faith? You have to find it, first.
