According to Gallagher:
{{Cquote|Many diplomatic services throughout Europe and elsewhere are now running courses, literally accelerated courses to make up time on religion,” he said, explaining that political leaders are beginning to recognize that “the world is a very religious place."<ref>[https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/religious-freedom-not-secularism-key-to-europes-future-vatican-official-says-56141 Religious freedom, not secularism, key to Europe’s future, Vatican official says], Catholic News Agency, 2017</ref>}}
