Cosmo Gordon Lang, the devil’s disciple?

[Father-Ted]

I saw the programme on TV about the then Archbishop of Canterbury’s machinations to get king Edward to abdicate simply because he didn’t like him. Considering that the Church of England’s pact with the state puts it top of the hierarchy of UK religions and makes the reigning king head of the Church of England and that the Archbishop of Canterbury must have sworn an oath of loyalty, don’t his actions to undermine the king make him one of the most traitorous, despicable and least christian churchmen we have ever had?

I do find is surprising that the believers posting on this thread cannot find it in their hearts to admit what a scoundrel the A of C was. Whatever the merits (or lack of) of the king and his mistress (shockingly divorced and American too) the Aof Commited an act of treason which then would have demanded the death penalty and broke his oath to the king. I thought you religious lot understood morality...obviously not. It seems that divorce is a heinous crime and treason isn't in some eyes.
