I thought the Beeb would drag out Linekers replacement
Coincidentally the below took place today at Hove Crown Court. I had the misfortune of having to attend a weekly school assembly with him in my last few years of primary school in the 1980s.The UK churches have always been riddled with perverts and paedophiles and a cover up is the norm. He should have quit before he was pushed. Good riddance
I experienced two of them as chaplains when I was at school.
Sunday working thoughJust as well I didn't get the Manchester United job ! I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring. Great job ! You actually get paid to wear the most outrageous headgear. Bring it on !

Former priest faces life imprisonment over third child sex offences conviction
A former Church of England vicar could face life imprisonment as he is set to be sentenced for a third time for child sex offences.www.theargus.co.uk
Oh that's alright then ffsCovered on local TV news tonight. The defence barrister called for a shorter sentence because this career child rapist pleaded guilty at the last minute.
This is quote from Justin Welby back in 2013 when speaking about the sentencing of Robert Coles (who was on some kind of placement at my junior school back in the 70's).Should have been sacked but guessing there was no one above him in a position to do the deed. I suspect by resigning, he'll be picking up a very nice pension which will probably include a place to live until he pops his clogs.
Sick people doing sick things is bad enough but it is worse when so called religious people cover it up.
Absolutely this. The horrific nature and extent of the abuse has been confirmed today. I say confirmed rather than revealed because I can’t help thinking it has been known about for a long time. I have been well aware of it and it is in the public domain.Welby was alleged to have considered the reputation of the church over the needs of the victims.
Respectfully, your post performs a similar function. You’ve sought to minimise the damage to the church/people of faith in pointing out that the offence occurs in greater numbers elsewhere. That’s straightforward whataboutery. I don’t keep a child abuse league table. Once is too often and I’d expect to see offenders brought to justice.
Welby’s position was plainly untenable and he had to go, which is something I feel you and I can agree on.
“Deflect atttention…” is such a strange conclusion to draw from. I guess that’s chat sites for you.Well I too also read it that you were trying to deflect attention by saying that good people would now be 'demonised' and that most abuse happens in families. However I'll accept that you just chose your words badly.
They need to out the rest at the top, they all knew/know they are all complicitGood riddance. Maybe this time they’ll appoint a Christian?
