- π‘ Reverend Paul Williamson objected during the confirmation of Sarah Mullally as Archbishop of Canterbury at St Paul's Cathedral.
- π― He stated his objection was due to safeguarding failures that he attributed to Sarah Mullally.
- π£οΈ Williamson waited for a gap in the service to speak, correcting the public statement that there were "no objections" to the confirmation.
Allegations of Safeguarding Failures
- β οΈ Williamson alleges Sarah Mullally, as Bishop of London and former NHS safeguarding lead, failed in her duty of care regarding vulnerable clergy.
- π He cited the case of Reverend Alan Griffin, whose suicide was linked to Mullally allegedly passing on false accusations, breaching GDPR by sharing medical records, and not conducting a risk assessment.
- π He also mentioned Martin Sargeant's "Brain Dump" files, containing false allegations against 42 vicars, which were reportedly on Mullally's desk for two years without action.
Personal Impact and Perjury Claims
- π§ Rev. Williamson claims he experienced suicidal ideation due to a lack of care from Sarah Mullally after his eviction from clergy housing.
- βοΈ He alleges Mullally committed perjury by swearing on oath that his resignation document was true, despite him stating he did not sign it.
- π Williamson asserts he was evicted without proper accommodation being provided, contradicting Mullally's public statements on the matter.
Procedural Deceit and Ejection
- ποΈ Williamson was informed he was "too late" to object after the King signed election papers in December, despite public notices suggesting a later deadline for objections.
- πͺ After presenting his detailed objections to the Vicar General, he felt "trashed and written out" as his concerns were dismissed.
- πΆ Following his public objection at St Paul's, he describes being "pushed down the aisle" and down granite steps, fearing serious injury due to his walking stick and steel leg.
Critique of the Church of England
- π He characterized the Church of England's current management as resembling a "banana republic" and a mix of "mafia and Vatican."
- βͺ Williamson believes the church is failing to provide spiritual nourishment, leading people to "vote with their feet" and wallets by leaving.
- β He expressed concern that many senior clergy may not genuinely believe in God or adhere to Christ's teachings.
Commitment to Justice and Faith
- π Despite being unable to preach publicly due to lack of official papers, Williamson remains a priest and is committed to seeking justice.
- π― His primary motivation is to rectify the "terrible wrong" done to Alan Griffin and other clergy, emphasizing it is not for personal gain.
- π He stresses the importance of following Jesus Christ and receiving the sacraments, maintaining faith in the core tenets of the Church of England despite its current leadership issues.
