There is an article at the BBC News site (found here) about the hammering out of the European Union constitution. Surprisingly, the nations of the continent of Europe have found several things to argue about. Toward the end of the article, there's this:
Members are also in disagreement over whether the constitution should make explicit reference to God, Christianity or religion. Some Roman Catholic countries, notably Poland, Spain and Italy are demanding that religion is noted, but France is strongly opposed.

That damn Catholic hegemony will get you every time. It's trite, but in order: Viva la France!
