Belgian Bishop Quits Over Sex Abuse
By ELISABETTA POVOLEDO

EXCERPTS:

The longest-serving bishop in Belgium resigned Friday after admitting to sexually abusing “a young man in my close entourage” many years ago, becoming the latest cleric to quit in a spreading abuse scandal.

(Roger Vangheluwe, 73, the bishop of Bruges since 1984 [actually, 1985] )
