"Welby stepped down after an independent investigation found that he had failed to inform police about serial physical and sexual abuse by a volunteer at Christian summer camps as soon as he became aware of it."

"The 251-page report concluded that Welby failed to report Smyth to authorities when he was informed of the abuse in August 2013, soon after he became Archbishop of Canterbury. Had he done so, Smyth could have been stopped sooner and many of his victims wouldn’t have been abused, the report found."

He waited nearly 11 years to accept responsibility for the scandal. I do not believe he stepped down from the goodness of his own heart. I believe he was finally forced to do so by his peers.

I do not believe this had anything to do with foreign powers. It has more to do with incipient rot from within.
