This is a huge problem for both anglican and catholic churches. It amazes me how anyone follows religion anyway but one that is basically a paedophile club is doubly baffling.

Hopefully. He should have resigned already. He should be charged with abetting child abuse.

Trouble is if they get rid of him they'll just get someone else desirous of a big gold hat & fancy robes.

They are not the only religions though are they. The ultra conservative Shia Muslim parties in Iraq are trying to get age of consent down to Nine!

A bishop telling an archbishop what to do ? What is the world coming to ?

Don't bash the bishop.

That's Charles' job.

Well done Douglas.  No doubt a dour mod will complain :-)

Had he already resigned he would at last be given some credit for having done so. By hanging on he has deprived himself of all respect.

Gone tomorrow.

If it is pertinent - I resigned from the PCC over Welby's decision to close the churches.  I'm back serving on the PCC, and as organist, on the understanding that I am critical of the 'high-ups' and hide-bound rules. I may getinto trouble again here - but they need an organist!

I believe that he should resign.   I believe him when he says that he did not know about John Smythe until 2013 - but after that, he was wrong in his actions i.m.o..  I can understand that Welby thought that Smythe's claws had been trimmed, but was he exiled with strong warnings sent around?  It seems not.

Having wasted a day of my life attending a mandatory day of training by the CofE regarding recognising and reporting  any form of abuse...........I feel like fallingasleep.  So much paperwork. 

Now they are planning one on recognising Domestic abuse!!!!!!  I could write the flipping course.

Seriously - I think Welby needs  to resign.  York is a bit of a nouveau buffoon so far.

Oh well, I've said what I think. It doesn't affect that I shall continue to practice  the organ and take part in village services.

This answers the question that some ABers have put forward..."Why don't these kids report the abuse at the time"?

 

...because there's a big chance no-one will ever listen to them.

"They are not the only religions though are they. The ultra conservative Shia Muslim parties in Iraq are trying to get age of consent down to Nine!"

It's all basically rape isn't it?

Ultra conservative Muslims want to do this in broad daylight whereas Christian paedophiles just hope their mates will keep it hushed up.

And he's gone.

SP1814,  thanks for the link, the update saying he's stepping down.

I thought this was going to be about education! PMSL, yep nonce keeper down the road a piece, result ....

Agree entirely SP.

Question Author

Yep gone.

Harris, Linekar and not Welby.  Bye bye woke. And in Welbys case may your God judge you.

Good.  Gone is the best place for him.  Shame on him that he stayed so long.

Question Author

He's the epitome of evil, which for a supposed man of the cloth is going some.

Perhaps the CoE would like to appoint a real Christian this time?
