The courage and gentle nature of this kind priest is truly notable.
These so called "activists" are nothing more than rabble, "pink
terrorists" if you will. ...b&c

BRUSSELS, April 23, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In an astonishing
display of gentleness in the face of a vile attack, the head of the
Catholic Church in Belgium, Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard, remained
calmly seated with eyes closed in prayer Tuesday as four topless women
attacked him with shouts and curses and doused him with water.
It’s not the first time the bishop has been attacked for standing up
for the Church’s teachings on homosexuality and expressing his concern
for those who live the homosexual lifestyle.
The incident took place at the ULB University in Brussels where the
archbishop was participating in a debate on blasphemy laws.
The four women, representing the pro-abortion and homosexual group
FEMEN, took to the stage where they disrobed to reveal black-painted
slogans on their bare chests and backs, such as ‘my body my rules,’
and 'anus dei is coming.' They also held signs reading ‘stop
homophobia’. The women doused the archbishop with water from bottles
formed in the image of the Virgin Mary.

For most of the attack, which lasted a number of minutes before the
women could be forced off stage, Archbishop Leonard sat drenched with
water with eyes closed in prayer. After the ordeal, the archbishop
kissed the image of the Virgin Mary on one of the water bottles that
was used in the attack. Le Soir reports that one of the interveners
said of the archbishop: “He was very calm and maintained a position of
prayer. I have to believe he was praying for us.”
Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard kisses one of the bottles that was
used to douse him with water by the gay activists. The bottles were in
the shape of the Virgin Mary.
According to FEMEN, Tuesday’s attack was spurred by an interview three
weeks ago where Archbishop Leonard said that when speaking to
Christians who are inclined to homosexuality he suggests celibacy, as
is required for all single persons.
Already in 2007, as Bishop of Namur, Archbishop Leonard was accused of
an offence against the Belgian anti-racism act for calling homosexual
acts “abnormal”. In 2008 he was cleared of homophobia charges after
appearing in court.
In 2010, as the new archbishop of Brussels, the archbishop was
targeted by homosexualist groups, and condemned by the country’s prime
minister, after he said that AIDS is a consequence of risky sexual
behavior, including homosexual sexual activity.
Also in 2010 he was attacked at his Cathedral by a man who shoved a
cherry pie in the archbishop’s face. Again in 2011, homosexual
activists at the Catholic University of Louvain-la-Neuve near Brussels
threw a custard pie in the archbishop’s face.
Archbishop Leonard has been a great supporter for the pro-life
movement in Belgium, speaking at their inaugural March for Life in
2010.
