For Bruges, De Kesel

Pope Benedict today named a new bishop to fill the shoes of the disgraced BishopRoger Vangheluwe who resigned after confessing to abusing a boy, in Bruges, Belgium. The news comes after a wide-reaching raid of the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels connected to the abuse of children by priests. The new Bishop of Bruges is Bishop Jozef De Kesel, an auxiliary of the diocese of Mechelen-Brussels, who had been a favourite for the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels which is now led by Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard.
