THE ANGLICAN CHURCH 'PRAISED AN ABUSER AS A “ROLLS ROYCE PRIEST”’

the leader of the worldwide Anglican Church, Cottrell, appointed and licensed Tudor, an abuser, promoted this abuser, praised this abuser, honoured this abuser and told a parish they were lucky to have this abuser as their priest. Cottrell described him as a ‘Rolls Royce Priest’ and is seen in jovial conversation with him, despite knowing about his horrific violations of children.

This stinks. His prevarication stinks. His unwillingness to resign stinks. The Anglican church’s pandering to him stinks. Anglicans attending Anglican services under his leadership stink. A child, Tudor abused, is rightly outraged. All who he abused are sickened. God is incandescent with rage. The Anglican Church is morally and spiritually bankrupt. If you want to meet Jesus and encounter God, you won’t find them anywhere near this nefarious profiteering syndicate.

ANGLICANS HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME

Anglicans hang your heads in shame or leave the Church of England in droves. How can you with any integrity attend an Anglican Church when it is now being led by a man who has knowingly allowed a predatory priest to not only remain in position but be promoted and honoured, having violated and violating so many. There are no excuses. You have overlooked the systemic discrimination against women. You have tolerated the disabled being barred from ordination and the divorced from sacramental marriage. You have passed silently by as the LGBTQIA+ community haS been shafted and ostracised. And now, when those in authority have known about prolific predators who have destroyed the innocence of the young and  yet done nothing, you still look away and pay homage in their church palaces of pretence. But don’t think that God is listening, that God is pleased, that Christ is being distributed in bread and wine. Oh no. Far from it. The Devil laughs as you lack the backbone to act honourably and enjoys you bowing your morality to evil’s reign and at Communion, you feast on the broken bodies of the predator’s victims and drink from the chalice, the tears of the abused. Cottrell has shown himself to be a man of fickle words and vacuous soul, and you….what have you shown yourself to be…. fawning pawns in the grip of a vile institution or Christ’s moral warriors, standing for truth and justice and shaking the dust of the Anglican Church from your feet.
