What does it mean to be a Christian and a politician today?

Christiaan Alting von Geusau, President of ITI Catholic University, gave a lecture on “Christianity and public life, being a Christian in Europe today”. Speaking about what Christians in public office should expect, the lawyer-philosopher speaker said, among other things, that Christian politics should be rooted in truth and human nature, that Christian politicians should respect the order of creation, that they should strive to develop the virtues based on their constantly enriched knowledge and morals, so that they can remain free in the Christian sense of the word and not become a slave to fashionable ideologies.
