Kerknet

Last updated

Kerknet (launched 2007) is the web portal of the Catholic Church in Flanders, Belgium. [1] It was initially run by a non-profit of the same name (Kerknet vzw), together with its associated YouTube Channel and Twitter profile. In May 2012 the site was subject to a series of DDOS attacks seeking to "silence the Church". [2] On 18 February 2015 the site was relaunched as a web portal. [3]

In May 2024 the Kerknet web portal became part of the newly established Catholic media group Otheo. [4]
