Rowan Williams speaks plainly at last

Unfortunately, it’s about the Roman Catholic Church:

The Roman Catholic Church in Ireland has lost all credibility because of the child abuse scandal, the Archbishop of Canterbury has said.

In a rare breach of ecumenical protocol, Dr Rowan Williams criticised the Catholic Church over its handling of the paedophile priests crisis and made plain his anger over the Pope’s plans for a new ordinariate to tempt dissatisfied Anglicans over to Rome.

Rowan may well be right. He should know; after all, he’s the head of the Anglican Church and it is awash with credibility.

  1. Too bad Elizabeth doesn’t have a few tough guys to fix things. I don’t think anyone would want her to do penance later, in fact there will probably be a party if things go aright. Just the threat should send him fleeing to America with his skirts over his head. We can dream.

  2. This acknowledges that the RCC in Ireland at least did have credibility, once – has Rowan Williams ever had it?
