I see that the egregious Justin Welby - surely the most completely-mediocre and corrupt individual ever to hold the position so far - has been forced to resign as Archbishop of Canterbury*; and this only seven and a half years after his complicity in systematic sexually abusive "training camps" was described in multiple and detailed reports in Anglican Ink dating back to early 2017, as well as the Daily Telegraph.
Which means, as usual the media reports are deeply misleading; since Welby's role in "covering-up" abuse (as well as his active role as camp counsellor) will have been thoroughly known to the monarch and prime minister for all this time (ie. those responsible for appointing the Archbishop of C).
They and other senior people have therefore been shielding and protecting Welby, and apparently maintaining him in his job for as long as they could; because he was doing their bidding, following their agenda, and doing what they regard as "a good job" - i.e. destroying the Church of England specifically, and attacking Christianity in general.
Among Welby's multiple aggressions on Christianity, surely his greatest was during the birdemic; when the Church of England imposed probably the most stringent lockdowns of any British institution.
This succeeded in its implicit aim of wiping-out approximately an extra quarter of church attendance, over and above the steady decline over which Welby has presided.
God bye - and good riddance? Well, we shall see what happens next to the docile dope of Lambeth Palace, before deciding whether he has really been punished at all; or just translated to a "higher" sphere.

ReplyDelete"Wow. Hopefully through some miracle the next archbishop of Canterburry turns out to be an actual Christian..."
@Brad - Given the people involved, that would need a bigger miracle than the Raising of Lazarus.
ReplyDeleteevery time i see this man i cannot but ask myself how a man with a face like this could be chosen as a leader for anything whatsoever, let alone a christian church. of course, the answer is that we are in the end times and everything is inverted.
ReplyDelete@Laeth - I did something about this subject of Christian physiognomy a wile back: https://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2012/11/whats-in-face-christian-leaders-past.html
ReplyDeleteAny idea why he is finally resigning now after getting away with it for so long?
ReplyDeleteAs for the physiognomy, it looked a bit “early life” to me, and such turns out to be the case. What an odd background for an archbishop!
@WJY - Welby's background would have been altogether "odd" (i.e grossly underqualified) for the senior Archbishop at any time but the recent/ present. But I suspect that "we ain't seen nothing yet"!
ReplyDelete@WJT - "Any idea why he is finally resigning now after getting away with it for so long?"
ReplyDeleteWell, he is beyond retirement age. And his resignation is deeply misleading. So, the deal seems to be that he gets to resign over a trivial aspect (instead of being prosecuted and sacked), he gets his pension (=/- lucrative positions) and makes way for The First Woman "Archbishop" so everybody will soon forget about him and the appalling Smyth scandal that involves dozens/hundreds of senior and lower level church figures.
"Iwerne"/ "Bash Camps were, anyway, (even without the systematic sexual abuse) the most snobbishly-corrupt and incompetent elitist Norman scheme since MI5/6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwerne_camps
I somehow missed the fact that the C of E has female “bishops” now. That’s completely insane.
ReplyDelete@WJT - "That’s completely insane."
ReplyDeleteNot so... assuming your motivation is to Destroy the CofE. In which case it's perfectly rational and highly effective.
Being neither a UK citizen nor an Anglican he never much figured in my consciousness but my main memory of Welby is of him presiding over a coven of witches at the coronation of King Charles.
