@woobyca7709 The 'Gesta Romanorum,' a thirteenth-century Latin collection of stories for preachers to use in sermons, includes a story about a parishioner’s response to a corrupt priest. When that priest was scheduled to celebrate Mass, the parishioner would skip the service. One day while so skipping Mass and walking in a meadow, the parishioner became desperately thirsty. The parishioner found a tiny stream of pure water from which he drank. Seeking to better allay his thirst, he sought for the tiny stream’s source. A wise man pointed him to a fountain: He {the parishioner} there beheld a putrid dog with its mouth wide open and its teeth black and decayed, through which the whole fountain amazingly gushed. The man regarded the stream with great terror and confusion, ardently desiring to quench his thirst, but apprehensive of poison from the fetid and loathsome dog carcass that apparently had infected the water. The wise man explained that the parishioner had already drunk of that water and that it was indeed good. The wise man explained: See now, as this water, gushing through the mouth of a putrid dog, is neither polluted nor loses any of its natural taste or colour, likewise celebration of Mass by a worthless minister. Therefore, although the vices of such men may displease and disgust, yet you should not forego the services that they are ordained to provide. In short, God can work through corrupt priests, and through other corrupt persons, too.

Why oh why did no one heed the wise words of John Hughes, the Bishop of Kensington, who told Welby that :- "There is no place for you in the Church of England" when he first sought ordination. It seems like Welby has been plotting his revenge on the CofE ever since.
