“I’m Delighted He Is In A Terrible Position” | Archbishop Faces Calls To Resign Over Abuse Cover-Up

[@sbalmer132]

Time this man with neither judgement or morals was removed from the Church he doesn’t believe in.

[@hildatrellis907]

Quite the worst Archbishop of Canterbury in modern history! He’s beyond retirement age and still clings on to the job depriving better clerics of their chance. A man of very poor judgement and less than godly.

[@Nighthawk-m9u]

He's also a millionaire. Saying the church should pay reparations for slavery,....but not with the churches money....or his.! He claims the dwindling congregations of his church should cough up.

[@cyberleaderandy1]

He ignored paedos he was aware of and did nothing

A very good description IMO.

[@bigd5090]

What chance? They certainly don't want to do God's will! Only 12 bishops stood against same-sex blessings! A job in a church of Jesus Christ is more than just a job and career prospects!

[@Agathanagatha]

Charlie (I refuse to call him king) doesn’t give a fig about what’s happening to England or it’s people he’s too busy embracing every other religion and raking in millions for allowing ambulances to park on his bloody land..the royals reign died with Queen Elizabeth II and she knew he would ruin the monarchy and be weak as dish water which is why she remained the Queen until the day she died

[@jenzabel]

I'm converting to Catholicism because this Arch Bishop has turned the church of England into a cringe community centre! He has created alot of devastation!

[@SaxonSuccess]

Yes, run to the pope. Because he's better, isn't he? (Answer:- "No".)

[@ChristinaLock-h2x]

Catholicism is no different, when will people realise? We don't need buildings, my jesus prayed on a hill top he died on the cross for his beliefs. He never asked for money to provide buildings.. IE churches, who are the richest land owners in the world, using. His name😢😢. But also abusing his legacy. My father was dying in 1966 a Catholic requesting his last rights😢. Our local priest was too drunk to attend!! The nuns were sent, that wasn't how it should of been in that era in my father's faith. In my opionion too much money and power is given to every church and religion. Our ❤ serves enough purpose just loving our jesus.

So Milliband either didn't get countries to agree previously or they did agree and did nothing about it. So what's the point then Ed? Anyway forget Ed Milliband I always preferred the Steve Miller Band. ''Big old jet air liner'' Sadly Welby is only interested in bashing his own bishop

If you live in Africa or the Middle East solar power is viable, and cheap. My electricity, aircon which would be on all day in the summer and water bill combined in the Middle East was less than £100 per month and my gas bill was £10 per month. To charge an electric car it cost between 10p -18p per KwH depending on the speed of charging. But if you live in the UK you know solar/wind is NOT viable, you don't need to be a genius to work that out. I have worked in the energy sector for 20+ years in both fossil fuels and renewables what we are being sold in the UK is the Emperors new clothes, many of us the industry have been saying this for donkey's years, the only renewable worth investing in is nuclear with out that or some fossil fuel we face crippling energy costs far higher than they are now, and energy rationing/rolling blackouts and back to a 3 day working week and a far weaker and reduced economy whilst the cost of keeping the country in a state of stagnation will just continue to grow. This is the reality that Miliband and labour are driving the country into.

Sorry...have to disagree. Solar power is expensive ...most people cannot afford to install it. I live in South Africa.

In December 2001, allegations were raised that, during his time as Archbishop of Brisbane, Hollingworth had failed to deal appropriately with sex abuse allegations made against a church teacher at Toowoomba Preparatory School. That month, the Brisbane Anglican diocese was ordered to pay $834,800 damages to the woman who had been found to have been sexually abused.[6] Hetty Johnston, an advocate for child sex abuse victims, instigated a campaign calling for Hollingworth to resign. Hollingworth told the Australian media that, as a newly appointed archbishop at the time, he lacked the experience to handle the matter. He also said he had not believed that the case involved sexual abuse, but conceded he had not done enough to stop abuses occurring.[11] Hollingworth subsequently apologised to the Toowoomba victim and released a formal statement condemning child sexual abuse but by February 2002, the Labor Opposition was calling for Hollingworth to be dismissed. Hollingworth stepped down from his positions as the Brisbane Lions' No 1 ticket holder, patron of Barnardo's, Kids First Foundation and the National Association for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect.[6]

This doesn't entirely excuse this frivolous reasoning and I certainly don't accept that reasoning! I acknowledge that the Church of England is in difficulty!

I strongly disagree that politics should have a role in the church, politics come and go GOD is forever. GOD is LOVE. People are leaving the church because of judgment of Christians. Love and accept everyone, BUT don't cater to immoral behavior, don't judge anyone, God is the only judge! God created the world, he knew that people would inhabit it, what is, will be. Our job is to go out into the world and preach the gospel to all the people. That man does not have God in his heart, because he would know that his opinion really doesn't matter, only God's.
