	Belgian Court Approves Investigation of Church Sex-abuse Files Catholic Culture August 13 2010 http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=7210 Setting aside a complaint from the Belgian bishops’ conference, a court in Brussels has authorized a government investigator to continue his probe into sex-abuse complaints involving Catholic priests. The investigation will include a thorough study of the files that were seized by police during a June 24 raid on the offices of the Belgian bishops and of an independent commission that the bishops had set up to conduct its own investigation into sex-abuse complaints. The Belgian bishops had complained that the police raid was needlessly intrusive, and had violated the confidentiality of the documents held by the independent commission.
