Pope Francis in Belgium: ‘Crisis of Faith’ in the West Requires a Return to the Gospel
Daniel Ibáñez
Addressing more than 2,500 priests, deacons, religious sisters, seminarians, catechists and bishops gathered inside the National Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Brussels, Pope Francis emphasized the urgency of evangelization in Europe.

‘The good news that Jesus brought to the world must once again be proclaimed to all and allowed to shine forth in all its beauty,’ he said. The Pope also spoke of the suffering of abuse survivors, following his Friday meeting with 17 victims of clerical abuse.
