Pope Francis defrocked Belgian Bishop Roger Vangheluwe, who admitted to sexually abusing his nephew.
Pope Francis has defrocked Belgian Bishop Roger Vangheluwe, who admitted 14 years ago to sexually abusing his nephew. This decision comes over a decade after the bishop had confessed and faced no Vatican punishment. Vangheluwe, who served as a bishop in the Belgian church, had his laicization enacted by Pope Francis, following the ongoing effort to address clergy abuse within the Catholic Church.
