THE Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams is a victim of serious misreporting.
There, I've said it. No excuses on behalf of the media, he's truly been hauled over the coals for no apparent reason other than seemingly wanting to start a debate (full text can be found here).
I think alot of the problems are that basically there's some people in this country who think men of the cloth should stick to dishing out bread and wine and leave the politics to politicians.
To think that though is to ignore the fact the two are closely linked (Northern Ireland is a classic example).
Coming down so heavily on Rowan Williams for speaking about it is an insult to the notion that this is a free country, which is what is was the last time I checked.
Not only that, it stops others from debating other issues of a sensitive nature, for fear of being pilloried.
