Visit to Belgium ended with Prime Minister’s position and a visit from the bailiff: how Pope Franciscus smashed his own windows

Belgium visited Pope Franciscus once, in September last year. He won hearts when he made a selfie with Ingeborg and gave a paternoster as a gift to Christoff, but kicked on many more hearts when he sent the victims of abuse in the church with a ball in the reed. It earned him a notice of default and even a visit from a bailiff. “But we never got an answer to that,” says lawyer Walter Van Steenbrugge. “With Pope Francis it was only parole, parole. Everything for the appearance.” Analysis of a pope visit that turned out to be fiasco.
