VATICAN CITY — The Vatican said Friday it was astonished and outraged that Belgian police investigating priestly sex abuse had conducted raids that also targeted the graves of two archbishops.

The Vatican summoned the Belgian ambassador to the Holy See to convey its anger over the raids, which included the home and offices of the retired archbishop of Belgium. The ambassador was called in for a meeting with the Vatican’s foreign minister.

On Thursday, police raided the home and former office of former Archbishop Godfried Danneels. Police and prosecutors did not say whether Danneels was suspected of abuse or simply had records pertaining to allegations against another person. He was not questioned.
