LIVE: Pope Francis Criticised by Belgian Catholic University, Moments After Visiting

LIVE: Pope Francis Criticised by Belgian Catholic University, Moments After Visiting Pope Francis was sharply criticised on Saturday by one of Belgium's Catholic universities over his stance on the role of women in society, in a strongly worded press release issued just moments after the pontiff spoke at the college. Professors and students at UCLouvain, where the 87-year-old pontiff had made a speech on Saturday afternoon, said they wanted to express their "incomprehension and disapproval" about the pope's views. "UCLouvain … deplores the conservative positions expressed by Pope Francis on the role of women in society," said the statement, in extraordinary language from a Catholic university about a pope. Francis went to the university on Saturday to celebrate its upcoming 600th anniversary as part of a weekend trip he is making to Belgium. His speech largely called for global action on climate change, but he also responded to a letter to him from students and professors that had asked about the Catholic Church's teaching on women. --- Pope Francis | Belgium | Catholic University | Women | Society | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #popefrancis #belgium #women #society #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
