The Vatican accepts the resignation of Belgian bishop Roger Vangheluwe.
A spokesperson for the Belgian Catholic Church said that the bishop resigned 'out of respect for the victim and his family, and out of respect for the truth'.
How long did it take for the notions of truth and respect to dawn on the bishop?
It is all becoming most distasteful.
Presumably, most of these bishops were appointed during the papacy of John Paul II. John Paul's 'acceptance' and praise for the founder of the Legionaries of Christ is most worrying. If it was clear to someone as lowly as the author of this blog that there was and is something systemically wrong with the Legionaries of Christ, then surely, why were questions not being asked in Rome.
But that same 'systemic problem' is now showing its head in other religious congregations and no one is asking pertinent questions.
