The European Union is at a turning point of its development. The pragmatic dimension of integration, directed towards multiplying wealth which dominated the vision of the role of this community no longer suffices to overcome the crisis experienced by Europe. In the near future, a rescue and possibility of reclaiming by the EU the position of a global actor might be found in the tightening of relations with Turkey and Russia or even inclusion into the EU structures of these two countries that lie at the meeting point of Europe and Asia and have a growing economic and military potential. The role of the new member states which joined the EU in 2004 is not to be underestimated either. Their economic stability can prove invaluable for creating new alliances in Europe and shifting the emphasis from the rich West and the still developing East to stable North and the sinking into crisis South of the continent. Poland could become the driving force of EU’s development, replacing France or Great Britain as Germany’s partner. However, the problem that must be solved first is finding a new extra-economic goal that would unite European societies in which nationalistic tendencies and postulates to return to the Europe of Homelands more and more frequently come to the fore. When such a goal is found, it can become a new inner source of activation and enable the EU to return to the values on which it was founded.

It is currently becoming a challenge of the times to create authentic values in culture, which will allow human beings to save their humanity. There exists a dialectic relationship among values and culture. Values are determined by culture in its origin, content and model of functioning. Culture, on the other hand, is determined by the values that function whithin it. In whatever way we approach the world of values in culture, it is certain that they are objective, because they are rooted in the human world. They complement human beings. The article analyses three pillars of identity (value) of European culture as seen by Card. Ratzinger, namely: law, marriage and family and respect for sanctity. They decide, in a mea-surable manner, about future European identity and consequently about the future of the Old Continent.
