God's Old Boys

If one thing is needful in these turbulent times, it is a greater degree of understanding between men of different faiths; so it's reassuring to see the Church of Rome and the Church of England agreeing their priorities and acting in Christian harmony. The Pope has decreed that sexual abuse and cover-ups within the Catholic Church must be reported to authorities within the Catholic Church, as this will help matters no end; meanwhile, some luminaries of the Anglican Church have been found complicit in the protection of Bishop Peter Ball. Both the former archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey of Blathering-in-the-Dotage, and the future head of the Church, Mrs Battenberg's Prince in Perpetual Waiting, oozed compassion for Ball as a club member in good standing; the bishop was eventually imprisoned for abusing vulnerable young people, though not before the first of his victims to report him had been driven to suicide. According to the Bishop of Bath, Wells and Safeguarding, the Church has condescended to ruminate further upon these mysteries, as this will help matters no end.
