Pope wraps troubled visit to Belgium by beatifying 17th century mystic during sunny stadium Mass.
Francis was celebrating a Mass under a spectacular sun in Brussels ’ sports stadium before heading back to Rome .
Mass was to beatify Spanish nun Ana de Jesus , who made a vow of chastity at 10 , entered religious life the following year .
Francis ’ unscheduled visit to pray at the king’s tomb and declaration that the legislation was “homicidal” were among several gestures in this once staunchly Catholic country.
He has ruled out ordaining women as priests and refused so far to budge on demands to allow women to serve as deacons.
Francis addressed the issue during his meeting with Belgian clergy and nuns in which he acknowledged so many Belgians had fallen away from the church.
The reform process must involve returning to the Gospel , he said.
