He’s shocked? What did he expect the reaction to be?
It appears that the Archbishop of "Khan"terbury could use some shock therapy.
Cantuar is a very apt theologian. The world of academia would welcome him to their ranks with open arms. He is very ill suited for such a public post. If by now he has not realized what you say to the press can not be nuanced as is a lecture given to graduate students of theology. He needs to hang up the mitre and go.
Someone get a rope.
