Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell faces increasing pressure to resign due to his handling of sexual abuse allegations against former priest David Tudor. Despite previous knowledge of Tudor’s restrictions and compensation paid to a victim, Cottrell allowed him to remain in ministry. Critics, including Bishop of Newcastle Helen-Ann Hartley, argue that Cottrell’s actions undermine his credibility as a leader. This controversy comes at a tumultuous time for the Church of England, already reeling from a report on systemic abuse cover-ups.
