What we now call Belgium, from 16 centuries through the so-called language barrier ( taalgrens ). Below it, you speak the Romance languages \u200b\u200b(French, Italian, English). Above it, the Germanic languages, the biggest and most known of which are English and German.
21 million Europeans - all that is half Dutch and the Belgians - who speak a Germanic language, in addition to them, no one knows: the Dutch , also known as Dutch or Flemish. Dutch is the mother tongue of 21 million Dutch and Flemish.
The Catholic Church is present in these regions (the "Netherlands") from the fifth century. Today, Dutch and Flemish there are 10 million Catholics. In Holland, the Church has seven dioceses and five in Flanders. The whole church life, such as social, takes place in Dutch - and ultimately remains inaccessible to the world outside of this "lost corner" of the universal Church.
This blog, for the first time, try to make it accessible to readers abroad on the life of the Church in the Netherlands and Flanders, news that would normally appear only in Dutch.
Because now, after the disappearance of Latin, the international language of the Catholic Church has become the 'Italian , we decided to publish notices in this language.
