Victim of abusive priest calls on Archbishop of York to step down
A VICTIM of abusive priest David Tudor has called for the archbishop of York to step down over his “insulting and upsetting” response to his handling of the case.
The anonymous woman questioned the “moral compass” of Stephen Cottrell, the Church of England’s second most senior bishop, saying the church “deserves better.”
The archbishop is under increased pressure following new revelations that Mr Tudor was twice reappointed under him while he was serving as bishop of Chelmsford.
