The pope's hand-picked archbishop in Belgium is spouting the standard party line (AIDS is punishment for gays, sexually abusive priests shouldn't be prosecuted, etc.), but the restoration of conservativism within the Belgian church that the Pope intended is not happening. Instead, Archbishop Andre Leonard appears to be offending just about every Catholic in the country, and even his own spokesman has resigned in protest of his extreme views. The Church, as it so happens, is reluctantly admitting that they might have a public relations problem with him.
On the bright side, according to the linked article, someone smashed a cherry pie in Leonard's face last week during a church service. Now that's the kind of religious dispute I can get behind!
