Brussels, Belgium, Apr 14, 2011 / 11:46 am
The head of the Catholic Church in Belgium told CNA that he won’t be taking legal action against the pro-gay activists who attacked him with pies made from shaving foam.
Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard was ambushed on four occasions while on a visit to the Catholic University of Lovain-la-Neuve, near Brussels, on April 5.
His spokesman told CNA on April 13, “The Archbishop will not pursue legal action against the pie throwers” but added that he “does not take the attacks as a joke.”
According to the French news agency AFP, one of the people who threw the pies told Belgian reporters, “For all those homosexuals who dare not tell their parents they are gay, for all those young girls who want to have an abortion, he absolutely deserved it.”
