Justin Welby: I think I must salute him

As to what went on in 2013 when it is said that Justin Welby had to face details of the conduct of the sex sadist Smyth QC I cannot claim to be certain. But I suspect that Archbishop Welby had to consider what would happen were the CoE to commence proceedings against Smyth QC And it would have been pointed out to him that Smyth would dig in and the costs would have been colossal with nothing to show for it in the end. So Welby had to trust that by ignoring Smyth he would save the CoE a vast sum. If so, that takes courage.
