Errors of judgement

The Archbishop of Wales apologises properly, but is it all too little too late? Plus English conservatives get a helping hand from overseas

Hello! Our first story this week concerns the beleaguered Diocese and Cathedral of Bangor, in North Wales. Or, more accurately, the beleaguered Bishop of Bangor Andy John, who also happens to be the Archbishop of Wales. Can John save his job as anger grows across the church about the catastrophe he oversaw in Bangor?

Then we check in on what anti-gay blessings conservatives are up to in England. They claim to have found a way to get their trainee vicars ordained without having to work with the official bishops of the Church of England. Is this a lasting solution to the splits caused by the Prayers of Love and Faith?

And finally, what should we make of the new pope’s suggestion we are entering a second industrial revolution led by AI, and that Catholic Social Teaching might have some answers?
