Degrelle, Rexist leader . 69,242 Invalid and blank 18,368 M. Degrelle attributes his failure to the appeal made by Cardinal Van Hoey, the Archbishop of Malines, and head of the Roman Catholic Church in Belgium. Cardinal Van Roey advised all Catholics to vote against M. Degrelle. In a letter to the Press he declared that the Catholic Church condemned Resists’ methods, the principles of which endangered the Church. He therefore called on Catholics to vote against the Rexists, saying: "it isn’t enough merely to return blank papers.”
