Just so you know: This isn't just a priest, it's Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, principal leader of the Church of England, the ceremonial head of the worldwide Anglican Communion and the bishop of the Diocese of Canterbury.

@@magicdog9523 Church of England, part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Actually not one comment I've read said he was a priest of the Latin Rite. The term "priest" in the English language and by civil law in most democratic countries not under the thumb of Roman culture, permits and protects the right of other churches and even non-Christians to use the term "priest". Eastern Orthodox, Anglican (this video), Coptic, Ethiopian, Others. So if that troll you answered wants to call him a "priest", it is accurate even if the defamatory words of that troll are not accurate.
