Police raid home of ex Belgian Archbishop in child-abuse probe
Jun 24, 2010, 15:36 GMT
Brussels – Police investigating cases of sexual abuse on minors raided Thursday the home of the former head of the Catholic Church in Belgium, Cardinal Godfried Danneels, a spokesman for the prelate said.
Danneels, 77, stepped down as Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels and head of Belgium’s bishop conference in January, after serving in that position for 31 years.
The cardinal was not questioned, but his computer was seized by police, spokesman Hans Geybels told the Belgian news agency Belga.
Investigators also searched Danneels’ former office in the Mechelen Archbishopric and the headquarters of the committee set up by the Belgian Catholic Church to investigate allegations of child abuse.
Raids were carried out on behalf of public prosecutors in Brussels.
‘The prosecution has recently received a number of accusations of child abuse committed by churchmen,’ spokesman Jean-Marc Meilleur said, adding that the searches had been ordered to ‘verify these accusations.’
In recent months the Vatican has been rocked by a slew of scandals related to paedophilia, as revelations of sexual abuse committed by priests on minors emerged in the United States, Ireland, Austria and Germany, as well as in Belgium.
In April Roger Vangheluwe, bishop of the Belgian city of Bruges for 25 years, was forced to resign after admitting to sexually abusing a boy earlier in his career.

Pope wants to roll back secular society
Vatican City: Pope Benedict XVI is creating a new Vatican office that aims to roll back secularisation and “re-evangelise” the West.
The Catholic leader announced the new pontifical council during a vespers service on Monday, declaring that it would “promote a renewed evangelisation” in countries where the church has long existed “but which are living a progressive secularisation of society and a sort of ‘eclipse of the sense of God.'”

Challenge against no-crucifix ruling
Belgium: Nine European governments appealed a European Court of Human Rights ruling on Wednesday that bans crucifixes in Italian state schools.
Last November the Strasbourg-based court ruled that crucifixes in Italian schools violated religious and education freedoms and said that the cross could be disturbing to non-Christian or atheist pupils.
Courts had previously ruled that the display of crucifixes is part of Italian national identity, an argument expanded by legal scholar Joseph Weiler on behalf of Italy, Armenia, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Malta, San Marino, Romania and Russia.
