#1 Resigning's too good for him - he should get the sack!

#3 I've read there is a means of removing the Archbishop of Canterbury, but the details weren't given.

#4 "The archbishop's aides should have prepared clear and specific examples of the types of things the archbishop had in mind."

Here in the States, that's called 'throwing the aides under the bus'...

#6 I think the process for removing the Archbishop of Canterbury was developed by Henry II.

#7 Yeah Moose. Certainly was. And the Tower is still there. Let the frivolities begin.

#10 I think he will attempt to hang on, effectively forcing them to try and fire him. He's more of a lefty liberal than a christian, and so values power more than "unity" or "peace" (those virtues being good only so long as Christian principles are sacrificed in the name of Political Correctness).

#11 I think Ptah has it down cold. His claim of being surprised by the reaction to his comments either means he is clueless about the feelings of his congregation writ large, and that he has no intention to be held accountable for his public statements. He will play the mis-understanding, lamb of God role and try to weather the storm. After all, what would he do if he had to actually work instead of "lead" like Chamberlain.
