"Belgian Bishop Defrocked 14 Years After Admitting Nephew Abuse"
Pope Francis has defrocked Belgian bishop Roger Vangheluwe, who admitted to sexually abusing his nephew 14 years ago, following years of Vatican inaction. The move comes ahead of the pope's visit to Belgium and amidst growing outrage from the country's bishops. The scandal has highlighted the Catholic Church's handling of abuse cases, with Vangheluwe's case being just one of several that have rocked the Belgian church, including the recent laicization of another priest, Luk Delft, who was convicted of child sexual abuse and possession of child pornography.
