A retired priest said Saturday that he told church authorities years ago about allegations that Belgium’s longest-serving bishop had abused a boy but he was stonewalled until the bishop was forced to resign.
Retired priest Rik Deville told The Associated Press that he transmitted the allegations to then-Archbishop Godfried Danneels between 15 and 17 years ago after learning of them from a confidant of the victim’s family.
