      The Post Office DID KNOW - as did Mr Ed Davey MP. This much has actually been proven.
      I'd say that at the very least Welby's situation can be compared to Prince Andrew's in that his credibility and judgement are so compromised that his reputation is now utterly diminished to a point that every day he hangs on brings more disrepute to the Church. Frankly, how can he preach to a congregation? What moral discourse can he engage in that can be listened to by a public yearning for spiritual guidance?

Smyth was sent to a psychiatrist by the church, he was made to sign a document agreeing to “stop the beatings” all this was still in the UK. Before he was literally told to leave the UK. Welby knew “officially” in 2013 and he did absolutely nothing, yet he said he would not resign?

    This excellent interviewer is so clued in and directly relentless in her questioning so as to expose this somewhat alarming and cringeworthy display of defensiveness and arrogance. Insufficient curiosity is a savage indictment given the seriousness of the abuse and he is plainly not good enough to oversee and implement any remedial action (he admits his own incompetence in the interview). Yet he justifies continuing by constantly referring to dates of knowledge like a lying politician when it should be about what’s best for safeguarding. My heart bleeds for the victims and I feel sorry for good local parish men and women who deserve better and do better for their communities. Totally selfish.

      I'm not sure about that (even though I'm an atheist myself ) as I think that's probably expecting too much from him and the organisation ( i.e. it's rather a wild assertion), but he should have resigned when the matter came back to him, or, better, dealt with it properly when he first got to know about it - which, he claims, is in 2013 - so at least back then. Then he wouldn't have had to resign as he now has had to, and some members of my siblings and their families wouldn't be feeling distressed and let down by their church right now, I'm guessing.
      Myself, I went through choir school and public school a long time ago (60's and 70's) so I already know how venal people who claim to be godly, or who represent the church can be. However it's not all of them; at my public school we ( the boys) thought (and we might have over-estimated a bit) that about a third of the masters were paedos. However I do know, for a fact, that one of the chaplaincy staff was, and the suspicion was that another one was as well, over the time I was there, about which I'm less sure. There was also a very nice gentle man in that team, who was very godly, and a bit naive I suspect, so it's important to realise that it's the bad eggs, not everybody, in most, if not all, organisations.

    These people are devils, they still can act innocent.
    Look at the body language, it is pure acting and pure evil.

    He is nothing but an enabler ! he'd still be covering it up to this day if he hadnt been caught covering it up. And there will be more for sure ! His actions on this and other matters of religion prove him to be the most un-Christian , Christian in these isles !

    “ We were told 9 months it took 5 years” utter bullshit. Any public office, any work environment if this happened it’d be a sacking. You find out why it’s taking so long on any project any proposal any documents.

    OK he has admitted being wrong in not chasing it up. Therefore, he is not doing his job correctly, by turning a blind eye. He has admitted failing not to do more. Why has there got to be a system in place? Surely, you just get up and get on with finding out what is going on yourself.
