I'm not religious, but this is infuriating.
How can he be in charge of the Church of England, even temporarily?

mrstanson.bsky.social•125 days ago

Church leaders are utter charlatans.

lunabelle.bsky.social•124 days ago

He's an hypocritical fool.
Unbelievably out of touch with reality.

merveswerve7.bsky.social•124 days ago

And lo, the spouting of platitudes both hypocritical and offensive did continue. Thus it was that insult was again offered to meaning and relevance by God's top brass.

saltykat.bsky.social•124 days ago

They’ve been getting away with the hypocrisy for so long they’ve become inured to it.

gemandmoll.bsky.social•125 days ago

He'll have to resign soon.

magicgareth.bsky.social•125 days ago

The Christian grooming gang strike again.
Happy Christmas Reece!

hedgewytch.bsky.social•125 days ago

😡😞😢❤️❤️❤️❤️

terrier1962.bsky.social•123 days ago

Makes my blood boil that the media give the church media space to pontificate & lecture when they cover up the most heinous offences. Remove all clergy from the House of Lords, they have no right to be lawmakers with their abhorrent behaviours
Evil people masquerading as godly & pious

jodamac.bsky.social•125 days ago

Let priests marry and there probably wouldn’t be such abuse🤔

tonykerridge0.bsky.social•125 days ago

I nearly choked on my parsnip!

sirgbearoftheburgh.bsky.social•125 days ago

Such is his moral compass, ‘he has done no wrong’… remarkable thinking..

sandehalynch.com•125 days ago

"Charged" first. Then changed.

kindnotweak.bsky.social•125 days ago

It’s mind boggling and stomach lurching 🤢

peter-moore.bsky.social•125 days ago

The same could be said of the Catholic faith with their vast wealth stashed in an off-shore tax-haven 'Country' at the Vatican City Bank? International money laundering? Close them down, Jesus tried but they hung him out to dry. Anyhow, nice that Gail had a happy ending. Hope you enjoyed the feast.

iancarter01.bsky.social•124 days ago

The church and the royal family are a crime syndicate that needs disbanding.

jimhigham.bsky.social•125 days ago

Not a “crisis of confidence “but a failure of leadership. He doth protest too much and really still doesn’t seem to understand what he and Welby have done. It’s not our fault for not believing. It’s their fault for failing to act to safeguard us.

metrofire.bsky.social•125 days ago

On today of all days, it's worth counting our blessings.

voltaire999.bsky.social•123 days ago

The problem with religion is people like this. There concept of faith would be abhorrent to Jesus, the man that all there morality is alleged to come from.

gryffgroff.bsky.social•124 days ago

The hypocrisy of the church knows no bounds. Has always been the case, as far as I can tell.

No accountability, and abuses in plain sight.

judithpgarbutt.bsky.social•125 days ago

theres a few more than him, the tories were wick with hypocrits like him....no better now they got the chop, badenough is dreadful

tinytimb.bsky.social•124 days ago

He can't help himself... He believes in fairies

lindamunton.bsky.social•124 days ago

I think I probably spent more time composing this reply than he did thinking about what he’s said The CoE is run by a bunch of arrogant blokes who are quite adept at empty corporate speak and hugely lacking in the empathy and repentance department Time for a clear out, if it wants to survive ❤️🙏

pastapete.bsky.social•125 days ago

Audition for the big job having stabbed Welby in the back?
But sadly Cottrell is a huge part of the problem, not the solution, so he should show his intention by resigning … along with a good few others in senior posts.

vintaget.bsky.social•125 days ago

I was an ardent and devout Anglo Catholic until my early teens when I began to see how those who preached the faith actually behaved. Agnostic after. Now buddhist

ytsrik.bsky.social•125 days ago

Felt the same listening to similar during the 9 Lessons and Carols from King’s College Cambridge.

peterwelsh68.bsky.social•125 days ago

The Bishop of Newcastle seems singular in willing to go into turbulent priest territory speaking truth to power about these awful pulpit culprits.

Why are the other Bishops so silent?

catherinereynolds.bsky.social•125 days ago

There is another (female, natch) speaking up

bobjim.bsky.social•125 days ago

If one of the accusations is "words not deeds", I'm not hearing about any deeds that she's performed to actively address the situation. She's in a sufficiently senior position to do so.

bobbearwales.bsky.social•125 days ago

They operate like some weird cult, excuse after excuse. Next we will be told it's Christian to forgive.

mrrobertbob.bsky.social•121 days ago

It’s not the abstract ‘Church’ that failed it’s real people in the church including the leadership. Those people failed appallingly to protect the young and vulnerable for decades.
He and the leadership would resign if they had any honour.

dcandbobbin.bsky.social•124 days ago

He may rival Lettuce Truss in terms of the number of days he’s in his new role.

davegalvin.bsky.social•125 days ago

It’s a cult!

isobel3.bsky.social•125 days ago

I'll be kneeling...on my very expensive prayer cushion, in my very posh place, with my very comfortable lifestyle.

secondhandjones.bsky.social•125 days ago

I'm so disappointed in him!

lindywilliams3.bsky.social•124 days ago

It beggars belief.
When is he going to step down? He is clearly not fit to hold any public position

paulobro.bsky.social•125 days ago

And these are people who are supposed to be closer to God! What a croc!!

myk-r.bsky.social•125 days ago

Change indeed. Resigning and being held to account in law would be a start, and not just for him.

dpp7541.bsky.social•124 days ago

After. The English Empire. Abolished Slavery. The Established Christian Church. Sought Compensation and Won. From the then British Government.
🇮🇪🇪🇺

dpp7541.bsky.social•124 days ago

They Should be forced to "Abdicate"
Being allowed to "Resign"
They keep their Church Supplied Dwellings.
There Salary
And life Pensions.
🇮🇪🇪🇺

jonnygf.bsky.social•125 days ago

Should be closed downs and the £Billions they have amassed should be used to end homelessness and hunger

ekaisen.bsky.social•125 days ago

Like many in the higher echelons of church hierachies (C of E is in no way unique) he's quite traditional.
And hypocrisy is VERY traditional.

tonetalk.bsky.social•125 days ago

Gaslighting of the highest order.

fac63.bsky.social•125 days ago

Thought for the Day: dissolve the Church of England.

jakkb77.bsky.social•125 days ago

Unacceptable.

barbsym.bsky.social•124 days ago

He shouldn’t have a choice in whether to resign. He should be removed then prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

kabri72.bsky.social•125 days ago

Agree,total hypocrites.

kjvincent1979.bsky.social•125 days ago

The church is more interested in protecting its reputation than helping others

Cover it up, move them to another parish quietly so less fuss and inconvenience and so they can carry on abusing

maria-999.bsky.social•124 days ago

I was literally lost for words when I heard this said. He's really hell bent on promotion. At any cost.

crazylady55.bsky.social•124 days ago

That lot - they are full of men who abuse women and children. I was once a victim of their abuse many years back.

perfumeaddict.bsky.social•125 days ago

They're so full of shit, like heads of corporates.

nettekin.bsky.social•125 days ago

I honestly thought I'd misunderstood the headline when I saw this.
How can he lecture on what other people should do, when his own behaviour has been far from 'christian' - time to go little man 🤢

welshgoldigger.bsky.social•125 days ago

Hopefully this will be the end of the Church of England, the Conservative Party at prayer.

alexcrk7.bsky.social•125 days ago

Literally just posted something similar. Utterly despicable.

kevstringer1.bsky.social•125 days ago

Reece, I've said it before, it's a farcical entity that should be dismantled.

'Twas always thus - You want help, they tell you to pray. They want help, they ask you for money.

Merry Xmas, btw.

sligogirl.bsky.social•124 days ago

A good description, and sums them up.
"Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too"
Just imagine 🤔
"All you need is love love love.."

hereandnow2017.bsky.social•124 days ago

Well put

kevstringer1.bsky.social•124 days ago

That'll do for me, have a follow!

sligogirl.bsky.social•124 days ago

Thank you. Kev. Have a good boxing day. I'm now Following.

kevstringer1.bsky.social•124 days ago

Thanks, you too.

angelharpmusic.bsky.social•125 days ago

They don't live in the real world. Utterly disgraceful

richardvealebult.bsky.social•125 days ago

I quite like him but he won't be Archbishop of Canterbury now. Up to Keir in the end anyway.

craigcurtis.bsky.social•124 days ago

Surprised we didn't hear the cliché of lessons to be learnt.

glensidetwo2.bsky.social•124 days ago

Off the scale hypocracy.

orphil73.bsky.social•125 days ago

He doesn’t have a leg to stand on. The current Anglican hierarchy completely lacks credibility. He should go, as should anyone who was complicit in this shameless cover up. It is too big for one person.

pauljohno1.bsky.social•125 days ago

They will all be jockeying for positions, big palace bingo.
