"Justin Welby's resignation was called for because he definitely knew about victims of John Smyth, a sadistic monster who he had once hugely admired."
"Many of them now state the church's ignoring of their trauma was equal to the abuse itself, reflecting a deep-seated issue within church leadership and accountability."
"In his farewell speech, Welby failed to express any sorrow or remorse for the many victims of Smyth, instead making light of the situation."
"The tone-deaf nature of Welby's comments during his departure underscores the Church of England's troubling stance on addressing past abuses."
