Archbishop of Canterbury resigns over child sex abuse scandal

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby

The Archbishop of Canterbury has resigned over his “untenable” handling of one of the church’s most serious abuse scandals.

Justin Welby’s decision to stand down comes after a petition by some members of the General Synod, the church’s parliament, collected more than 5,000 signatures urging him to leave over his alleged failures to alert the authorities about a barrister’s “abhorrent” abuse of children and young men.

Good. He was way too woke.
