Telegraph art. on latest Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby on same sex unions/marriage

He said it was “right and proper” that same-sex marriage has now come into force, adding: “And that’s great.”

    Trying to avoid the Mozilla effect, I see. Won’t be successful until capitulation occurs and kneeling before Zod, Welby offers the same words without qualification.

    The matters revealed in this article and a previous one by the telegraph contrast strongly with articles on the ABC’s own website.

    It appears that, in his own way, ++Welby is every bit as slippery as his predecessor, perhaps more so.
