	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Belgium
		Belgium was a country which had very few voters; out of a population of more than six millions there never were more than 150,000, and during the last years of the Liberal Government no less than six laws had been passed to diminish this number still further by excluding entire classes of Catholic voters.

		According to the census of 31 December, 1905, the population of Belgium is 7,160,547.
