“When I'm ordained to the priesthood, all I feel is pity”

The disgust that has swept through Flanders since Godforsaken: he has been feeling them for half a lifetime. Rik Devillé, the pastor who was never “Mr. Pastor”, has known the victims and the stories for many years. He listened, he wrote it down, he gave them a voice. Of course, this national anger feels like a final justice. “But please don't throw away the Bible.”
