RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Belgian minister is prepared to send the Vatican pornographic images found on a computer belonging to the former Bishop of Bruges to persuade Rome to laicise him.
The Catholic weekly magazine The Tablet reports Roger Vangheluwe stepped down in 2010 after admitting that he had molested one of his nephews and abused another.
Belgium’s justice minister Paul Van Togchelt said Brussels was ready to send the Vatican pornographic images investigators had found on Vangheluwe’s computer to add to the case.
The Tablet says that Pope Francis is due to travel to Belgium to attend the six-hundredth anniversary of the Catholic University of Leuven. Vangheluwe now lives in France.
