If you have read Pierre's link you will have alighted on the following paragraph:
“This latest decision means the UK Parliament will get clear guidance from the European Court of Justice about the precise powers open to it when it is asked to vote on the Brexit deal."
That is precisely why we must leave the EU.

The EU have looked at the 750 treaties and are acting in accordance with them. This is not theological stance but a legal one (
god/religion has nothing to do with this).
The government negotiators may want X, Y or Z, but this is not within the purview of the EU negotiators to give, as they are restricted and governed by the rules. Ergo the EU are not treating the negotiations as a theological.
