“It cannot be that difficult to rename the Wollemarkt in Mechelen, where the archdiocese is located, as Eva Demoorplein.” In his new book, priest Rik Devillé tells the story of Eva: raped by a clergyman at the age of 14 and then convicted of ‘temptation’. “We must not allow ourselves to be distracted from what is really important: the systematic abuse of children. We are now several weeks further. Where is Vangheluwe and what is his status? It is still exactly the same.”
