The manifesto, called the Paris Statement, details how "technocratic tyranny" and "false freedom" prevails in Europe, threatening its very existence as well as the Christian roots that undergird it.

The statement, released October 7, lists concerns about the growing secularization of Europe, Muslim immigration, and the rise of a "false Europe." It outlines ways Europe can return to respecting the sovereignty of its nations, overcome "isolation and aimlessness," and restore "true liberalism."

"The true Europe is at risk because of the suffocating grip that the false Europe has over our imaginations," it says. "Our nations and shared culture are being hollowed out by illusions and self-deceptions about what Europe is and should be. We pledge to resist this threat to our future. We will defend, sustain and champion the real Europe, the Europe to which we all in truth belong," the authors state.

These false ideas about Europe are "invincibly prejudiced against the past," they add.

The "patrons of the false Europe" are "unable to acknowledge the defects in the post-national, post-cultural world they are constructing."

"Sunk in prejudice, superstition and ignorance, and blinded by vain, self-congratulating visions of a utopian future, the false Europe reflexively stifles dissent," the authors continue. "This is done, of course, in the name of freedom and tolerance."

The authors wrote the statement after a meeting last May in which they took a sober look at the current state of European politics, culture, society, and the state of the European mind and imagination.

The authors state that instead of "simply wringing their hands in fruitless anxiety, or adding yet another tome to the ample literature that diagnoses 'the decline of the West'" they decided to write a statement about what makes Europe great and how it is being threatened.

The Paris Statement identifies threats to a "true" Europe and corresponding solutions.

Solidarity and civic loyalty must be encouraged, the statement says, so that justice may be pursued. Europeans must not be "passive subjects."

"We share our common life and the res publica," it says. "We assume that it is our duty to take responsibility for the futures of our societies. We are not passive subjects under the domination of despotic powers, whether sacred or secular. And we are not prostrated before implacable historical forces. To be European is to possess political and historical agency."
