Danneels wanted sexual abuse by Vangheluwe kept secret

The newspapers are considering today the transcription of two soundtracks that the victim made of his conversation with Danneels and Vangheluwe. It appears that Danneels wanted to keep secret the scandal until the bishop retired one year later . This however, the cardinal has always denied.

The victim himself, a nephew of the bishop has come out with the recordings because he says he is the victim of a smear campaign by the Church. It us a fact that Roger Vangheluwe has given money to his nephew over the years. The victim has never been questioned, but always has asked for the resignation of Vangheluwe.
