The pope on Sunday, June 27, 2010 called the recent raids carried out by Belgian police investigating priestly sex abuse 'surprising and deplorable' and voiced his support for the Belgian bishops who were held during the searches. In a message of solidarity to the head of the Belgian bishops' conference, Pope Benedict XVI said justice must take its course but also asserted the right of the Catholic Church to investigate abuse alongside civil law enforcement authorities.
