ROME – Belgium’s Prime Minister has announced that he will summon the Vatican’s ambassador to protest remarks on abortion by Pope Francis at the close of a visit to the country last Sunday, which he claims constitute “unacceptable” interference in his country’s domestic affairs.
“It is absolutely unacceptable for a foreign head of state to make such statements about democratic decision-making in our country,” Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said during a session in Belgium’s Chamber of Deputies.
