Belgian Church head criticised for AIDS remarks

None

Belgium's Roman Catholic Church, already reeling from allegations of sexual abuse, faced a new scandal on Friday after its primate wrote that AIDS was "a sort of inherent justice".

 

Many lawmakers condemned Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard, the head of the Belgian church, for the remarks in a new book and Belgium's centre for equal opportunities received a series of complaints, including one by a lawyer who said his comments were incitement to hatred. (Reuters)
