"Yes, And It's No Favor
Istanbul, Turkey - Since the Pope is infallible, we can't really question his judgment, can we? But he's right, Turkey should be a member of the European Union.
Accepting Turkey will not be a gift from EU members either. Economically, strategically, demographically, and culturally, Turkey has a lot to contribute to the Union, which is currently under tremendous strain. There is deep malaise within major EU member countries and the Union suffers from a lack of leadership and direction. It has lost its sense of purpose."
