Death of Prof. Dr. Luc De Fleurquin
With great sadness it is my duty to inform you of the death of Professor Dr. Luc De Fleurquin. He was professor at our Faculty of Canon Law from 1976 to 2009. Generations of canonists have attended classes with him, and students of law and theology will also remember him as an outstanding teacher and engaging storyteller. He showed the greatest attention to each student individually and throughout his life he was concerned about the future of the Church. Which undoubtedly brought him sorrow as well as happiness. After his retirement he was, among other things, episcopal vicar in the diocese of Antwerp (Belgium) and judicial vicar of the ecclesiastical court of second instance. May he rest in peace.
Prof. dr. Dr. Rik Torfs
