A Belgian archdiocese is considering legal action over police raids during which Roman Catholic bishops were detained and a cathedral crypt was searched.
Police raided several buildings of the Brussels archdiocese on Thursday looking for evidence of child sex abuse by priests.
Brussels prosecutors say the raid, which involved dozens of officers and investigators, followed a string of accusations of abuse.
A senior Vatican official says the detention of bishops was "serious and unbelievable", and compared it to the practices of communist regimes.
