Justin Welby expressed his sorrow over the abuse scandal, stating that his resignation was in the best interests of the Church of England, which he dearly loves.
The report detail's John Smyth's abuse and the Church's cover-up, indicating that Welby could have reported Smyth to authorities before his death, preventing further injustice.
Survivors have voiced concerns that the resignation of Welby should not merely serve as a scapegoat; they demand accountability from other senior clergy members.
Bishop Stephen Conway admitted regret over his past actions regarding Smyth, believing at the time that he had done all he could to address the allegations.
