OPINION - Justin Welby's behaviour was disturbing, unforgiveable and frankly disgusting
Yesterday Justin Welby resigned as Archbishop of Canterbury after a damning report found that there had been and is a “conspiracy of silence” by the Church in relation to child sexual abuse. It is grim to even write those words, the idea that someone who claimed to be a man of peace and integrity would ignore the evidence of child abuse is just disgusting. As someone who was let down by those in positions of power as a child, I find Welby’s unwillingness to hold a child abuser accountable even more disturbing and unforgivable.
