Archbishop Stephen Cottrell faced scrutiny for reappointing David Tudor, a priest barred from ministry due to sexual abuse, reflecting systemic issues in Church leadership accountability.
Cottrell acknowledged that his handling of Tudor's case could have been better, expressing regret for the decisions made, albeit stating he acted based on available advice at the time.
The Church of England is grappling with repeated scandals, including the upcoming departure of Archbishop Justin Welby, as it deals with past failures in safeguarding.
With Tudor banned from ministry for life this year, Church attempts to address safeguarding issues have sparked ongoing discussions related to clerical accountability and the welfare of victims.
