💨 Abstract

Pope Francis was urged by Belgium's King Philippe and Prime Minister Alexander De Croo to take more concrete action to address sexual abuse by Catholic clergy during his visit to Belgium. The leaders criticized the Church for taking too long to address the scandals and emphasized the need for "concrete steps" beyond words. Francis addressed the issue in a meeting with politicians, saying the Church was dealing with the problem firmly and implementing a prevention program worldwide.
