Today in Vienna the joint Orthodox-Catholic conference "Giving soul to Europe. Mission and responsibility of the Churches" ends. Catholics supported the Orthodox in seeking to return the concept of human rights to its roots. “Sometimes it is said that the concept of human rights dates back to the French Revolution, but in fact this is not the case,” said Cardinal Paul Poupard, chairman of the Pontifical Council for Culture. “The idea of ​​human rights goes back to the Gospel, and the current concept of human rights is, as Chesterton said, the commandments of the Lord changed by a madman.”
