Commentary
As Christmas tree displays across the United States have been destroyed by arson, officials in the European Commission have gone even further, undertaking what the Vatican decries as the “cancellation of Europe’s Christian roots.” In its recently published “Union of Equality” document (pdf), the European Commission demanded that Commission employees use “gender-neutral” pronouns, avoid addressing audiences as “ladies and gentlemen,” and refrain from wishing each other Merry Christmas.
