sadoldgit Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 (edited) Surely the man has to resign. This is another in a very long line of cover ups in the Christian church. If this was an Asian grooming gang we can imagine the outrage but, for some strange reason, there doesn’t seem to be the same outrage when Christians do it.

badgerx16 Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 (edited) Why should the head of the CofE resign when the Pope won't ? The report into institutional abuse in New Zealand is truly shocking. Edited November 12 by badgerx16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted November 12 Author Share Posted November 12 If you want to throw the Pope in as well, fine. Sexual abuse has been going on in all Christian denominations for ever. I mentioned Welby specifically in this instance because he knew about Smyth and did nothing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Just how much of a cunt do you have to be to see this news story and instantly think "right, onto Saintsweb I go and make it all about posters I don't like". Don't answer, it was rhetorical. But, that much of a cunt. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two tier outrage? (when hypochondriac isn’t posting laughing emoji on threads about dead Muslims he is posting them on threads about sexually abused children.

whelk Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Welby seems a decent bloke. Obviously has shame in what has been covered up. Resignations from heads rare now as there is tendency to ride out any scandal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
