which he says most motivates him is his belief in the community: 'For someone like me, still inspired by the communitarian personalism of Emmanuel Mounier [founder of the monthly, Esprit], the community dimension is what I find most lacking in political life.' He says he entered politics to help achieve the right balance between the individual and society. Delors says Christian faith 'impels, inspires and motivates, but it does not confer any kind of superiority on Christians'. Hebblethwaite accused anti-European Conservatives of being stuck in the rut of individualism 'and ignoring the Evangelical tradition of social reform found in Lords Wilberforce and Shaftesbury'. He says they have 'correctly picked out Delors as [their] chief enemy in Europe and the principal obstacle to [their] plan to roll back international "socialism".' The anti-European wing of the Conservative Party confuses Marxism with the Church's social teachings and because it rejects the theology behind these teachings it thinks Christian Democrats such as Helmut Kohl have 'gone soft' when they promote the Social Charter. Hebblethwaite's paper contends that far from being in opposition, society and communities are made up of human beings and they need one another. Solidarity was not invented in Poland in 1980; it has deep roots in Christian tradition and it comes from shared experience. These themes are returned to in other Movement for Christian Democracy publications. In the Movement's monthly bulletin, Christian Democracy,7 the editor, Bill Gribbin, gives an account of Jacques Delors' 'Pope Paul VI Memorial Lecture' given at the Bloomsbury Theatre, London, to the Catholic Fund for Overseas Development (CAFOD). In a paper entitled 'United Europe - Divided World', Delors calls for 'a new Europe in solidarity and partnership with the Third World'. In the next edition of Christian Democracy8 Dr Dick Rodgers argues:
Without a common cause the nations of Europe risk degenerating into a greedy squabble for the largest slice of the economic cake. The needy would go to the wall and the earth's resources would soon be exhausted. How much better to lay aside our claims and work together as colleagues on a job which is crying out to be done!
And, in the same publication, David Campanale, in an article entitled 'A Richer Weave for Nationhood', calls for a new vision of Europe:
