Belgium Church will split
if the country splits.
"Believers call for the division of the bilingual Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels. The movement "Wallonia Church- " advocates that after the retirement of Cardinal Godfried Danneels, the ecclesiastical structures at the Flemish/ French language boundary should be adjusted. The members fear that the diocese will not be Francophone enough under a new bishop (Radio Vatican forgot the not!). A spokesman for the cardinal said that the movement was not representative. Cardinal Danneels himself had always supported the unity of the diocese. The conflict between the French and Flemish-speaking population had been ignited this summer after the parliamentary elections. So far, the parties of the two regions has been unable to form a government. "
The Wallona Church movement says that their position is dictated by the spirit of openess following the Council and that differences enrich. So much so they cannot participate in a Diocese with their Flemish brothers.
