It has been interesting to see certain members of the more fervid press describe Welby’s sermon as a “rant”: which it certainly was not, and I suspect Rees-Mogg would never dare suggest the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster would ever misunderstand anything.

Anyway, for better or worse, we have an established Church and I would have thought it was part of the Archbishop’s job description to comment on contemporary issues.
