BBC: The Church of England has been accused of covering up child sex abuse carried out by a former choirmaster.
Why is this surprising?
In a statement, the Church of England said it was committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of the children within the Church community.
That’s a lie. Why? Because there will be other cases yet to be found by the authorities.
I bet they just do the confessional thing and expect their god to have forgiven them.
How people trust or even believe a word those people say is way beyond me.
Note carefully – Rowan Williams apologises for the Slave trade. Rowan Williams says nothing about this. And yet he cares? Seems not.
And in the first link – find the word ‘sorry’.
You try living in Ireland where the church ruled till very recently and where sorry means “sorry we got caught” not “sorry for this kind of thing happening”
On that note:
Bishops call for Radio 1 to offer more religious output – http://news.independent.co.uk/media/article2486630.ece
Favourite bit:
A Church of England spokesman said religion played a “major part” in the lives of young people and needed to be included in the Radio 1 output.
Have you noticed that whenever there is a cock up the perpetrators always say they are *committed* to something. It’s a cost free, audit free statement. It’s bollix.

I was abused in the C of E’s care and my book has just come out about it called Pin Down. Severe abuse because the C of E refused an enquiery into the home before i got there and since the Arch Bishop of Canturburys speech, the church have refused to give me an appology. Nearly 2000 girls went to kendall house and the abuse that went on there was terrible
