梵蒂冈开始为已故比利时国王博杜安宣福品程序，他因反对堕胎而受到赞扬。 Vatican begins beatification process for late Belgian King Baudouin, praised for opposing abortion.

梵蒂冈已经启动了已故比利时国王博杜安的宣福程序，他于 1990 年暂时退位，而不是批准一项将堕胎合法化的法律。 The Vatican has initiated the beatification process for late Belgian King Baudouin, who temporarily abdicated in 1990 rather than approve a law decriminalizing abortion. 教皇弗朗西斯赞扬Baudouin国王在2021年访问比利时期间所表现的亲生立场。 Pope Francis praised King Baudouin for his pro-life stance during a 2021 visit to Belgium. 然而, 批评者认为这在比利时政治中是个插手, 国王在刚果独立时代的角色问题依然存在。 However, critics argue this move meddles in Belgium's politics, and questions persist about the king's role in Congo's independence era.
