How ironic that so many religious leaders did not defy the lockdown orders or the vaccine mandates.

Welby. He damaged the Anglican Church in the UK so badly it's probably gone.

As a default Anglican who adores the KJV and the Book of Common Prayer (and Miles Coverdale's translation of the Psalms) this deeply saddens me, but has prompted me in my 70s to dive deep into Catholicism (been at Buckfast Abbey on retreat for Holy Week) and will also attend some Orthodox services. Fortunate enough to spend 6 weeks in the summer of '68 on a school trip, driving from Leningrad to Odessa. Attended a couple of services in Orthodox Cathedral and was, at the age of 16, much taken by the power of their services.

Pope Francis immediately comes to mind. The leader of the Catholic Church put man before God. I pray he asked for forgiveness. God rest his soul.
