The right venerable and untenable, Justin Welby

[ChorizO]

He’s got to go, surely.

This is leadership failure at its very worst.

I couldn’t agree more.

[elO]

you'll struggle to find a religion in which abuse isn't common. I'm a catholic, so I might be biased, tho.

[Dunners]

I do believe that Welby is deploying a version of the "I was present but not involved"-type defence.

[Max B Gold]

This would never happen in the Catholic Church.

[Dunners]

Damn right. They knew how to get proper stuck in.

[EliotNes]

Resigned.

I liked the guy and he spoke sense, but why he didn't do something about this pedo creep, only God & Justin knows.

[Proposition Joe]

why he didn't do something about this pedo creep

Because they never do.

[Proposition Joe]

Would also say that, from the information that's come out of the reviews, 'pedo creep' is a fairly kind way of describing an absolute monster like Smyth. If Hell exists, I hope he's not enjoying it.

[Omygawd]

Shocking dereliction of duty by the Archbish, he had to go. Mates more important than the security and welfare of children. He needs to be booed as well.

[Dunners]

I was going to add, I hope he at least got booed at the synod.

[Pagan Orient]

Without turning this into a sectarian row, he's an odious man. I wonder if the CofE will appoint a spiritual leader with belief in the sacred this time, rather than a profane, irreligious virtue-signalling humanist.

[Harlow]

I loosely remember a Yes Minister/Prime Minister where Hacker had to appoint an Archbishop of Canterbury (or someone on those lines). Sir Humphrey made a comment that this particular candidate was unusual in that he actually believed in God, something I sadly do not.

[Give it to Jabo]

Not a good look - to be pushed.

[ChorizO]

Gone.

[faldO]

Backed the wrong horse again...

The rest is damage control

Meanwhile - am I right in thinking that we have a convicted felon in The White House?

You are not.
