The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has resigned five days after a report found he likely knew about the actions of a serial abuser spanning decades.

Oh he's so he resigned after other people found out something he already knew for a very long time, huh?

How soon are people going after him with the baseball bat?

All these hate crimes of individual practitioners but not enough of these people in knowledge of this bullshit and in charge of hiding it

For what it's worth, he feels really bad that he got caught.

Man, kind of random thought but- if he was caught like a mouse gets caught in a trap When people say he feels bad about getting caught then I would be like yeah, okay fair enough.
