Archbishop Of Canterbury Resigns

Position vacant: Archbishop of Canterbury

Applicants must be prepared to preach and moralise and lecture the government on its short comings.

Gary Lineker is welcome to apply.
 
Next Archbishop of Canterbury?

Woman? Black? Gay?

Which combo is most likely?
does Alex Scott have a twin sister ?

actually , on second thoughts , she probably knows more about Protestant Theology than she does about Football.

Anyhoo.....its taken you Prods a while to catch up with us Catholics on the 'dodgy priest' front.

 
what comes to mind are two TV interviews with whistle-blowers. Talking about paedo's in high places. Both were scoffed at and laughed out of the TV studio.

David Icke scoffed at by Terry Wogan.

Tommy Robinson scoffed at by Jeremy Paxman.


...........and of course, at least one of the BBC employees above knew all the rumours about Jimmy Savile. Rumours which had not yet gone public at the time. John Leydon aka Johnny Rotten....another whistle-blower who got ostracized for telling the truth.


how many other Paedo's in high places ? we will probably never know.
 
Time to disestablish the Church of England.

We are the only European democracy that doesn't separate church and state so puts us on the same level as Iran and Saudi Arabia.

If faith leaders want to involve themselves in politics let them stand for election.

Yes, first thing kick out all the church peers , like Welby
 
Maybe you might like to explain why? Do you, for example, think he was slow to deal with the whole issue and didn't reach out to the authorities in SA or Zimbabwe quickly enough to warn of the dangers Smyth represented or perhaps that he tried to cover it all up? Alternatively, is there some other reason behind your views?

It was the Church that sent Smyth to Zimbabwe after he stated he would not work with children whilst there. Guess what, he set up Youth camps. Whilst there he was arrested after the suspicious death of a 16yo but the case collapsed 🤔There was a report compi,ed in 1982 into his crimes but it was covered up. Welby claims to have been only made aware in 2013, Smyth died in 2018, you do the sums So yes Welby, the church and the Police all have a responsibility for not bringing him to justice . Please explain your last sentence

You might not like or respect him but do you really think that's appropriate language to use?
'scumbag' is a word i would use for Brighton fans or dangerous drivers. Those who protect & empower paedos are many levels beneath a scumbag. Even a 'piece of sh1.t' could serve some positive function in helping a farmer to fertilize his fields.
There are few words to fully describe an enabler of Nonces.

If we wished to get Theological, then maybe Devil or Demon. Which is a bit ironic when you consider his previous job.

Hardly analogous. Icke was scoffed at because he claimed the world was controlled by lizard people. Robinson is beloved by some on here, but I see him more as base level prison yard toughie and Paxman scoffed at everyone he ever interviewed. And who took media kicking-ball Lydon seriously given every thing else he said and against a benighted, charity-magnet, national treasure and personal friend of Thatcher.

The only whistle blowers worth listening to are the victims. It is smothering their cries where the true crime lies.
