A victim of abuse from within the Catholic church taped meetings he had with Cardinal Godfried Danneels, former archbishop of the Catholic church in Belgium, last spring. Released to De Standaard last week, the tapes make it clear that Danneels made a number of attempts to silence the victim of sexual abuse carried out by the bishop of Bruges over a period of 13 years. Danneels, who has repeatedly denied trying to cover up the matter, met with the bishop, Roger Vangheluwe, and the victim in the case, who is in fact Vangheluwe's nephew, in early April, after the victim threatened to go public with his story.
