Welby and Christian Child Abuse

[sadoldgit]

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. Go figure?

Why should the head of the CofE resign when the Pope won't ? The report into institutional abuse in New Zealand is truly shocking.

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.

Given your history of trawling the internet to find stories of Muslim sex offenders whist ignoring white, possibly Christian offenders, perhaps you would be kind enough to explain why some people take to the streets to demonstrate about the former whilst not bothering at all about the latter?

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.

Opens thread, sees OP in a reply... when discussing abuse is an excuse for points scoring...

Who would have thought the Archbishop of Canterbury would go before Russell Martin?

My wife is wondering whether Lineker leaving MOTD was in anticipation of a job vacancy opening at the head of the CofE.

He's sanctimonious enough.

So you don’t disagree that you specifically only highlight sexual assaults from people of a certain ethnicity or religion? 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. Classy)

I haven't looked at this case in detail, but has Welby resigned because he is the head of the organisation involved in scandal? Or did he do something personally? 

[whelk]

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.

But of a weirdo with the trans stuff though so I'm probably not too upset that he's jumped.
