You are absolutely correct. Apparently the scandals involved a number of Belgian government and law enforcement officials. This scandal was huge, and did not involve the Church. The true scope of the problem may never be known, since some of the investigators and witnesses were falsely discredited, and though they have been vindicated, Belgium has a statute of limitations on murder.

No surprise these pederasty scandals have found a home there.
