Yet another example of modern religious leaders having entirely forgotten their roots. Jesus was the guy who went among the "untouchables" of his day telling them that morality is more important than power, as such being quite unpopular among the authorities - as the end of his life demonstrated. That message has zip zilch zero to do with what we are hearing from the Archbishop of Canterbury.

It is interesting, actually, watching how the divide between authoritarians and individualists is dividing the church, just as it's dividing families and friends. There are church men who recognize the authoritarians for what they are, and then there are men like this. If we could cleanly separate these two populations, we might stand a chance at developing peace in the individualist zones. But no. The world doesn't work that way, sadly.
