    The Fall of the Belgian Church

    From the desk of Alexandra Colen on Thu, 2010-06-24 22:26
    In Belgium, today, police searched the residence of the Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels and the crypt of the Archbishop’s cathedral in Mechelen. They were looking for evidence of cover-ups in the ongoing investigation into widespread pedophilia practices within the Belgian church in the decades during which Cardinal Godfried Danneels was Archbishop. Danneels retired in January of this year.

    Police also confiscated 450 files containing reports of pedophile offences by members of the clergy, that had been submitted to an investigation committee which was established within the church to deal with pedophilia cases.

    Since the revelation in April that Cardinal Danneels’s close friend and collaborator, Mgr Roger Vangheluwe, the Bishop of Bruges, had been a practicing pedophile throughout, and even before, his career as a bishop, victims have gained confidence that they will be taken seriously, and complaints have been pouring in, both to the courts and to the extra-judicial investigation committee of the archdiocese. The new archbishop Mgr. André-Joseph Léonard, has urged victims to take their case to the courts.

    His predecessor, the liberal Cardinal Danneels, who was very popular with the press in Belgium and abroad, was Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels and Primate of Belgium from 1979 until 2010. The sympathy for pedophile attitudes and arguments among the Belgian bishops during this period was no secret, especially since 1997 when the fierce controversy about the catechism textbook Roeach made the headlines. The editors of Roeach were Prof. Jef Bulckens of the Catholic University of Leuven and Prof. Frans Lefevre of the Seminary of Bruges. The textbook contained a drawing which showed a naked baby girl saying: “Stroking my pussy makes me feel groovy,” “I like to take my knickers off with friends,” “I want to be in the room when mum and dad have sex.” The drawing also shows a naked little boy and girl that are “playing doctor” and the little boy says: “Look, my willy is big.”

     

    The drawing also showed three pairs of parents. Those with the “correct” attitude reply: “Yes, feeling and stroking those little places is good fun.” This “catechism textbook” was used in the catechism lessons in the catholic schools, until one day I discovered it among the schoolbooks of my eldest daughter, then 13 years old. On 3 September 1997 I wrote a letter to Cardinal Danneels, saying:

    “When I see this drawing and its message, I get the distinct impression that this catechism textbook is designed intentionally to make 13 and 14 year olds believe that toddlers enjoy genital stimulation. In this way one breeds pedophiles that sincerely believe that children actually think that what they are doing to them is ‘groovy’, while the opposite is the case.”

    I told Cardinal Danneels that, although I was a member of Parliament for the Flemish-secessionist party Vlaams Blok, I was addressing him as a Catholic parent “who wishes to remain faithful to the papal authority and also wishes to educate her children this way.” I insisted that he forbid the use of this book in the catechism lessons: “This is why I insist – yes, the days of meekly asking are over – that you forbid the use of this ‘catechism book’ in our children’s classrooms.”

    Today this case, that dates from 12 years ago, assumes a new and ominous significance. Especially now that I know that Mgr Roger Vangheluwe, the pedophile child molesting Bishop of Bruges, was the supervising bishop of both institutions – the Catholic University of Leuven and the Seminary of Bruges – whence came the editors in chief of this perverted “catechism” textbook.

    Monsignor Vangheluwe not only entertained pedophile ideas, but also practiced them on his 11-year old nephew. Hundreds of children who were not raped physically were molested spiritually during the catechism lessons.

    After I started my campaign against the Roeach textbook, many parents contacted me to voice their concerns. Stories of other practices in the Catholic education system poured in. There were schools where children were taught to put condoms over artificial penises and where they had to watch videos showing techniques of masturbation and copulation.

    Because Cardinal Danneels refused to respond to requests to put an end to these practices, I and hundreds of concerned parents gathered in front of his palace on 15 October 1997. We carried placards with the text “Respect for parents and children,” and we said the rosary. Cardinal Danneels refused to receive a delegation of the demonstrators. “I shall not be pressured,” he said in the libertine magazine Humo on 21 October 1997. The Archbishop’s door remained closed when we demonstrated again on 10 December 1997.

    When we demonstrated at the palace of the Bishop of Antwerp on 19 November 1997, Mgr Paul Van den Berghe received a delegation of mothers that included a local councilor from the Christian-Democrat party and myself. Mgr Van den Berghe, who was the Episcopal supervisor for education, listened to the mothers, wept and promised to investigate the practices in the sex education and catechism lessons. He also announced this intention in a declaration to the press.

    He must have been reprimanded by his colleagues, because on 24 November, after a meeting of the Bishops’ Conference, in a press release to the press agency Belga, the Bishop of Antwerp announced that, in spite of his promise, there would be no investigation. Today we know that one of the colleagues present at the Conference was the child molester Vangheluwe, which makes that incident, too, very unsavory indeed.

    On 18 February 1998 we were at Cardinal Danneels’s door again, myself and a group of parents. Again the door remained closed. So on 18 March 1998 a group of two hundred parents went to the Papal Nuncio, the ambassador of the Vatican, in Brussels. But the Nuncio, who was a friend of Danneels, also refused to meet us. He had, however, alerted the police, who had several water cannons at the ready just around the corner.

    Meanwhile Danneels’s friends in the press started a campaign against me. “Colen continues to pester the bishops,” was the headline in Gazet van Antwerpen. One evening Toon Osaer, Danneels’s spokesman at the time, phoned me to tell me that as a Catholic I had to “be obedient” to the bishops. In Humo Danneels insinuated that I was “conducting my election campaign.”

    On 5 January 1998 the daily newspaper Het Volk interviewed Patrick Vanhaelemeesch, a catechism teacher in the diocese of Bruges and one of the co-authors of Roeach. He gave some details about the illustration concerning masturbating toddlers in the catechism book. He said that the illustration was intended to convey the message that “toddlers experience sɛҳuąƖ lust.” Vanhaelemeesch revealed that the committee of bishops had mentioned this illustration in an evaluation report of the catechism book. The report stated: “The presentation of the sɛҳuąƖ-pedagogical attitudes is rendered ridiculous in the eyes of the pupils by the text balloons.” According to Vanhaelemeesch this criticism “indicates that the bishops had no objections at all to the message conveyed [i.e. toddlers experience sɛҳuąƖ lust], but feared that the pupils would not take it seriously.”

    When I had exhausted all possibilities and it was clear that the Belgian church did not want to hear the parents, I decided to sever all ties with the Catholic education system. I took my five children out of school and set up a homeschool together with other parents, so our children would be educated in a Catholic environment.

    I sent a letter to all the cardinals in the world to inform them about the contents of the Roeach textbook. “Please be assured that this Dicastery will give your report all due consideration, answered Mgr. Clemens, Cardinal Ratzinger’s personal secretary, for the Congregation of the Faith in Rome; Cardinal Gagnon from Rome appreciated “the just battle which you are conducting”; “The matter which you raised is very important,” wrote Cardinal Arinze from Rome.

    I received letters of support from cardinals from all parts of the globe. “I share your concern. It is important that you do not leave the matter uncontested,” wrote Cardinal Meisner of Cologne; “You have good reasons to be concerned,” wrote Cardinal Wamala of Uganda; “I feel strongly enough to write to Cardinal Danneels in the hope that he may enlighten me,” wrote Cardinal Vidal of the Philippines; “If I have the opportunity to discuss with Cardinal Danneels the matter you have drawn to my attention, I will do so,” wrote Cardinal Williams of New Zealand; “I shall try to do something in order to help you,” wrote Cardinal Lopez Rodriguez of Santo Domingo; “I am aware that your concerns have been brought to the attention of Cardinal Laghi, Prefect for the Congregation for Catholic Education,” wrote Cardinal O’Connor of New York.

    On 27 February 2010 the daily newspaper De Standaard wrote that these letters “enhanced Rome’s perception of the weak church leadership in Belgium.” Hence, the liberal Danneels was replaced by Mgr Léonard. Rome hopes that he will be able to restore the church in Belgium. I share this hope. However, it is a pity that it has taken so long. The damage that has been done is greater than anyone could have imagined.

  • Here are Danneels' words to the victim


    Belgium cardinal tried to keep abuse victim quiet

    BRUSSELS, BELGIUM -- Audio recordings leaked to the Belgian media this weekend reveal Belgium's Cardinal Godfried Danneels urging a sex abuse victim not to make public that his abuser was his uncle Bishop Roger Vangheluwe of Bruges, Belgium. The recordings show Danneels pressuring the young man not to force Vangheluwe to resign.

    Vangheluwe eventually did resign April 23. He had served as bishop of Bruges for more than 25 years and was 73 years old.

    A spokesman for Danneels told NCR that the cardinal did not comment about his meeting with the nephew and Vangheluwe, during an earlier press conference, because "he assumed that it was a confidential conversation to be kept within the family."

    The spokesman said that Danneels "acted out of concern for the anonymity of the victim and now regrets that the conversation he considered confidential has been made public."

    Danneels's spokesman told Catholic News Service correspondent Jonathan Luxmoore that news reports on the recorded meeting have been interpreted out of context.

    "There was no intention of any cover-up," Toon Osaer, spokesman for the cardinal, who retired in January as archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels, told Catholic News Service Aug. 30.

    NCR contributor John A. Dick, an academic in Belgium, provided the following translation of the audio transcripts published by De Standaard newspaper.

    * * * * *

    The first conversation between Danneels and Vangheluwue's nephew was held April 8 this year.

    Nephew: "So... I was sɛҳuąƖly abused by my uncle Roger thrughout my entire youth. sɛҳuąƖly and even now psychologically. I think I have to do something about this, that I have a responsibility to report this to a higher authority."

    Nephew speaking again to Danneels: "This is your responsibility. I can't make the decision. I have carried this burden on my shoulders long enough and now you must carry it. That's what I mean."

    Danneels: "Actually the bishop [e.g. Vangheluwe] will retire next year. I think it would be better that you wait until then."

    The nephew replies that he cannot accept the fact that Bishop Vangheluwe would retire honorably. Danneels replies that he personally "has no authority over Bishop Vangheluwe." To which the nephew asks "Well then who?" "The pope" is the reply.

    Cardinal Danneels asks if the nephew wants Vangheluwe to resign and adds: "But that is his decision. I can mention it but that's all. You expect me to do something that I cannot do. I don't know what more to do. Or perhaps I have to find some other way to bring this to a satisfactory conclusion."

    When the nephew stresses that the cardinal must speak to pope and that Vangeluwe must be sanctioned by the church, Cardinal Danneels responds "Yes but...You can also ask forgiveness and, well, you can also acknowledge your own guilt."

    Nephew: "Whose forgiveness do I have to seek? I am not the one to ask for forgiveness."

    Danneels: "He can do that. That's correct."

    Later Cardinal Danneels asks that the conversation not be made public and suggests to the nephew: "You can figure that he will resign next year and that he agrees to make no more appearances on television, that sort of thing,; and before you know it a year has gone by."

    Nephew: "No! I am putting this in your hands and the two of you have to make a decision."

    "So you can grab us and try to blackmail us, huh, and say: 'you have to do something!'" is the reaction.

    Toward the end of this conversation, the nephew asks "Why do you have so much compassion for him [Vangheluwe] and not for me?"
    Dannels: "That's not what I am saying."

    Nephew: "You are always trying to defend him. I thought I would get some support from you. Instead I sit here trying to defend myself about things which are not my doing."

    Danneels: "No ... I am not saying that but that there is something else that has to be done."

    Nephew: "And exactly what is that?"

    Danneels: "Seek forgiveness in any case."

  • I doubt very much, that a replacement will make any difference.  What happened in Belgium happened in the USA as well.  Marxist took over the church that Christ founded, as we know them to be, the dioceses.  This happened in the 50's and like many things are gradual, even before the 50's we had infiltration of communist to be traditional priest.

    In 1990-94, I was able to read federal grants, under governor Mecham of Phx, AZ.  I was taught  how to research.  I researched to see who was bringing and teaching sex education when it was against the state laws.  To make a long story short, it was the dioceses.  They take the money of the people and give to the federal gov't and get back triple.  It is called in-kind money.  For every $1. you give the feds, they give you $3 back, in grant monies.  You may read it in dioceses newspapers.

    So, the church never messed with the Federal monies until they said yes.  When I lived in Indiana, our catholic schools would take none and that was up til the 1970's.  Even still, the sex ed was making it's way in.  Catholic and private schools do not follow state laws, therefore the sex education came via the catholic and private schools.  I read those grants and when you read them, they are straight forward and live nothing much to the imagination.  Names, addresses and all.  They stated, " we are dodging the laws of the state, and implementing in private schools and listed them by name.  

    Bishops and pope are all aware and are not catholic, but marxist and communists.  This may be a shock, but it has been going on for a very long time.  Condoms were in the curriculum here in Phx so-called catholic schools since 1991.  It came in with federal dollars, under the AIDS Task Force and Bishop Moreno and Bishop O'Brien were the heads.  

    nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr will become, via the dioceses world wide.  It takes universal organizations, The church Christ founded is it.  So, we are down to the traditional churches.  The Precious Blood will end.  The Bible states more than once that the sacrifice/mass will end. Matthew 24 and Daniel 12.

    I read grants for child pedophile therapy and it was not.  This grant was for every state and grants must have universities involved.  So, all the borders of AZ were put on alert for any run away/homeless children.  A system in place of all organizations, hospitals and such filtered these children.  The children if male, were with pants down, and a genital wire ring put on them and they were put in a reclining chair to watch child porn.  If there was an e----, it was good porn. Then the child was given a smelling salts of kind and the next porn shown.

    Come to find out, Canada had the same thing happen to them in 1991.  Porn is a ring and we pay for it with our federal $$.  The little man gets thrown in jail and are the children ever found, does anyone wonder where these children are, if grown and can tell us, who did these awful things to them?!  A Bishop of Canada was found to have the worst child porn with torture by police maybe a year ago.  

    So, for those of you who are still in the New Order/dioceses, you are supporting communism, porn, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, the worst!  Lifesitenews has this known even through St. Vincent De Paul.  Here in PHX,AZ I found out for myself that STVP was supporting and advertlsing state phone numbers for abortion, contraceptives, just anything.  I questioned the main Doctor in 1995 and he said they must serve everyone.  He knows, I know, that when you take money from the Federal gov't you serve them, not God.

  • No one should be outraged.  It's as if no one can read the "signs of the times".  

    The Conciliar sect's doctrine is that marriage is only truly marriage if the couple stays together for life; a divorce is, in itself, the only evidence that is really needed that there was never really a marriage.

    The Conciliar sect's doctrine is that abortion and artificial means of birth control are perfectly acceptable if they interfere with the couple's...well, for whatever reason the couple has--it's sure to be a good reason.

    The Conciliar sect's doctrine is that ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity and the unnatural expression of that sɛҳuąƖity is perfectly acceptable when it is based on "love".  And all this fuss over age...

    The Conciliar sect's doctrine is that everything the Catholic Church calls evil is good and everything the Catholic Church calls good is evil (except, perhaps, "anti-Semitism", which, of course, is evil).

    The October Synod is merely going to make it sort of-kind of official.  They won't exactly say it, but it sure will sound like it and everyone in the world (except Mr. Voris) will take it and run with it while there will be not a peep of correction given by any Vatican official or Conciliar bishop in the world.

    The only people who will see it for what it truly is will be the few Catholics who remain on the earth.
