Pope Francis arrives in Belgium for a 4-day visit, marking the 600th anniversary of KU Leuven and UCLouvain. However, the visit is overshadowed by the country's ongoing clergy sex abuse scandal and institutional cover-up. The Pope will meet with 15 victims of clerical sex abuse, amid continued criticism of the Church's handling of the scandal. The Belgian parliament has announced a follow-up investigation into the 2010 "Operation Chalice" raids on Church offices, which were criticized for being flawed and inadequate. Victims have penned an open letter to the Pope, urging a universal reparations system for abuse survivors. The Pope will also address immigration and climate change during visits to Leuven University campuses.
