The happy news reaches me that André-Joseph Léonard, the Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels and Primate of all Belgium (got to love the title) has had a custard pie pushed into his face during an All Saints Day mass.
This process, known in French as entarter, seems to have died out a bit, which is a shame. Its principal protagonist, also a Belgian, was Noel Godin, who said he did it to pompous public figures. He is reported to have entarté the philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy four times.
Léonard's entartement seems not to have been for pomposity but for his views on homosexuality.
Nevertheless, I hope this is the first of many.
