Letter to the Press and Bishops on the Anglican IICSA abuse report

 A Letter to the press and Bishops of the Church of England regarding the news headlines of the IICSA report.

Dear Recipients, 

As survivors know, this week's headlines have been a big show. A big harmful painful show to those who know that now that the IICSA with it's past tenses about abuse and safeguarding are out of the way, and the PR boasts by Welby and Walker have been trotted out, it will be business as usual, the Church of England way. The IICSA failing to hold Welby and the 'safeguarding bishops' to account and advise their resignations was the final word on that.

The serious safeguarding failures are not in the past, they are not someone else's problem, they are here and now, and one such failure is allowing guilty men to boast in the press as Welby is doing when he has personally harmed victims through cover-up. For 7 years Welby has boasted in the press in response to abuse and safeguarding failures and whatever other whim takes his fancy. The general public in their thousands respond in disgust but Welby's psychopathy is abnormal and he ignores the mass disgust in response to his behaviour.

It is usual for the Church of England to make sweeping statements and promises without challenge or follow-up, and that was the case this time, the Bishop of Manchester, who has failed to respond to a recent serious safeguarding complaint against Justin Welby that has been going on for years and currently leaves a vulnerable adult homeless and seriously injured as a direct result of Welby's criminal misconduct, has claimed that things have improved, he's claimed that to Cathy Newman, unchallenged, while such statements are like a physical blow to the many victims who are suffering because of Walker, Welby, Butler, Hancock and others' failure to act properly or at all. Justin Welby himself is under investigation by his safeguarding team who themselves have harmed victims, and yet that was very muted in the media and now he's showing off about 'wake up calls'. What kind of nation and media allows a charity with such a serious safeguarding failure right up to the leader, allows them to posture instead of resignations and closing down?! 

The abuse of the media by the church on these matters has long been an abuse of victims. 

I am among the many who feel revulsion at the sight of Welby all over the press and media with his posing, his  untruths and boasts. How is the IICSA report a 'Wake up Call' when Welby has been a knowing part of harm to victims and appears to have no intention of resigning? And the IICSA have failed to hold him or anyone else to account - presumably because the church of England were able to interfere with and conflict the report and make sure specific allegations against current leaders were not aired. The IICSA was even led by two C of E dignitaries in a row, one of whom acted repeatedly in abuse cases to cover up and to harm victims, Baroness Butler Sloss, whose work in the Chichester case is well known but whose interference in other cases to harm victims and cover up is less well known.

In effect, the IICSA has changed nothing, because we still have the unaccountable cult, the church of England, basically pissing all over the press and media with their interferences in matters that don't concern them, politics, the vulnerable groups who they abuse and look down on while making a pretence of helping, the general public endure this and complain, and are ignored and blocked by this high and mighty closed cult, the church of England, but there is no accountability, and the IICSA hasn't ensured any. The C of E are still reined in by corrupt insurers in the Ecclesiastical-Allchurches trust inner circle who ensure that each atrocity by the church, each press release that puts the church in a bad light, is met by the Welby and Walker style falsehoods. This week and the press have shown that it is business as usual the Church of England way. 

The routine fake apology by the guilty and compromised Archbishops beggared belief. Welby was willing to kill people to protect the church's image, he destroyed this man: http://bobhilljersey.blogspot.com/ and the victim that that man felt forced to protect against the horrendous acts by Justin Welby and many senior clergy and laity and the press in Welby's first fake safeguarding stunt that went horrendously wrong. That matter alone should have led to Justin Welby's resignation rather than his being congratulated on it by the dignitaries who aided him in destroying them victim. That matter alone where he started out by abusing the press for a false apology and whitewash report, leading to the victim, homeless because of the wickedness of the church of England, vulnerable, diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, attachment disorder and PTSD, being attacked for years on end. The Church provided no protection to the victim and Welby ended what he started with PR apologies to the victim with PR apologies to the aggressors. The press aided the destruction of the victim without a murmur let alone an investigation into such openly criminal acts When the victim refused to be silent, the church of England had her violently dragged from her home in front of her neighbours and brutalized and flung in police cells, with no defence and the church telling the police she was insane, for what? continuing to ask for justice. She remains homeless, seriously injured by the police violence, and a fugitive with the church claiming to anyone who asks, that she is insane and the police are after her, forced from society forever, while Welby still boasts. Tell me Bishop Walker, what has improved as this continues? 

Obviously the case above was not included in the IICSA report because this was a vulnerable adult repeatedly groomed and abused by two serial abusers, and left with those abusers laughing at her as she was left as a criminal and rough sleeper with the church still hounding and defaming her, and there are thousands of vulnerable adults who the church have harmed in similar ways, who this week are suffering trauma badly because of the press and the church of England. Victims should not be subjected to the church of England, which is little more than a cult in numbers of worshippers, hogging the limelight in proud humility over their sins, as previously described 'dribbling, piddling and leg humping like untrained labradors over their wrongs'.

 The IICSA have been irresponsible to extremes both by failing to deal with the current senior clergy who have harmed children, vulnerable adults and their families and friends and by allowing the church's behaviour in the media and allowing the matter of the serious abusea and cover-ups to be in the past tense as if it was all in the past. Nothing has changed. The victims who have lost their lives, often branded as insane by the church and the authorities who they conflict and subjected to violences that took their lives, have been left without justice, as have the living victims, the outcome of the IICSA report is no justice, no change, just the guilty men who have taken part in the cover-ups, crowing and preening and making victims sick.

Shame on you, IICSA, shame on you leaders of the Church of England, shame on you newspapers and media who have printed and broadcast the lies of these wicked men. Really, shame on you all for this show when it is business as usual the C of E way, with the help of the IICSA and at the expense of thousands of people who are suffering and will be affected for life, those who live. 

For the information of Cathy Newman, this victim, who asked you among many, for help and was ignored because the media only publish the church of england's lies and PR, is a CURRENT safeguarding matter, a vulnerable adult who Justin Welby, Tim Dakin, Paul Butler, Trevor Willmott, Peter Hancock, Baroness Butler Sloss, and more, publicly destroyed, has been homeless for two years, a fugitive from further police violence which would kill her after she has suffered a broken spine and lost part of her hand to police violence, she is diagnosed as autistic and suffers PTSD and psychological damage, the church have worked hard to make her out to be insane for her response to decades of church harm to her in cover-up of two prominent serial abusers. The church have covered up her case with vile whitewashes that totally excluded her story, and efforts to make her out to be insane and persecuted her with the police and efforts to make her out to be insane. 

Jonathan Gibbs and the Bishops of Southampton and Bristol have failed to respond to this case that prominently involves Justin Welby, the Bishop of Manchester the same. The Archbishop of York who's premier show was PR apology for his wrongdoing that should have prevented his installation, blocked me for referring the complaint to him but as he received it, he is liable for it and is repeating the serious misconduct that he did a PR apology for. Justin Welby was publicly congratulated on apologizing to the aggressors in the case by a conflicted Lord who sits with Baroness Butler Sloss on the ecclesiastical team, Sloss was actively involved in the cover-up as well. This is NOW, Bishop Walker lied to Cathy Newman and was not challenged on his lies. The IICSA don't appear to have made proper recommendations to remove the corrupt Ecclesiastical team for their persistent misconducts and abuse of the law to aid the church in their corruption.

Victims of other cases where Justin Welby has been involved in cover-up have also been harmed by Walker and Welby's distressing PR interviews this week, and victims are calling for his resignation, but he goes on and on, unchallenged by his Bishops with their virtue signalling and PR stunts that attempt to gain favour for the church while harming its victims. Theories are that Welby's mental condition is so serious that he really doesn't see the harm he does, which would make him unfit to be an Archbishop of course, and that thought is very widely upheld, he is unfit to be Archbishop, but other theories include him being paid by Oligarchy to remain, to interfere in Brexit and elections as he so obviously did, and no one effectively either called him to account or shamed him for his openly corrupt behaviour. 

What the IICSA and the media and news have done is violently re-open victims' wounds, and for some, that will be a step too far, there are likely to have been or to be deaths because of the way the IICSA, C of E and press have behaved this week.

I was astounded to see how Cathy Newman enabled the C of E this week. I do not watch Channel 4 News, to me it is all propaganda and efforts to stampede people over this virus hoax and C4's personal opinion of Brexit and I thought Newman had gone, rattled off to be on some obscure radio station after refusing to expose Justin Welby and the biggest cover-up in Church of England history, I am disgusted that she allowed Bishop Walker to harm abuse victims and show that it is business as usual the church of England way. I am one of several people who

when the C of E dominate the media, asks, how much money changed hands for these lies to be published unquestioned and for such open abuse and corruption to be ignored?

Nothing the church of England proudly blare into the press and media is ever questioned or followed up, they can make grandiose pretences of any sort of care and help and they distress all of their victims, and not a single follow-up is ever made. No other religion or denomination is allowed to behave this way and considering that the IICSA, very redacted and church protecting report hasn't absolved them, isn't it time for such behaviour to stop? The C of E is no more than a large cult who are very proud of themselves and like to be seen, they offered nothing to the general public and congregation during the pandemic and behaved appallingly. Well, behaving appallingly is their modus operandi.

Senior Bishops, current senior Bishops, the National Safeguarding team and others, have circulated emails making victims out to be insane when they persist in asking for justice. This is on Welby's watch, he knows, he is part of it. Why are the Church getting their views made headlines and not the victims?! The IICSA should have ensured that their report did not become part of cover-up and PR. 

Having harmed victims further and lied about the state of things, having refused and ignored serious safeguarding complaints, having been part abuse and harm, Justin Welby and his senior Bishops should now go. The Dean of Sheffield, who has obviously been in serious trouble for some time and tried to hide and defend it, making himself look worse, seems to be the only resignation in this horrendous situation which encompasses most of the senior Bishops, why is there only one resignation, and from a Dean?! 

Now there need to be further inquiries, into senior Bishops, safeguarding Bishops, Archbishops, the national safeguarding team, the behaviour of the press and news outlets in relation to church of england PR and abuse of news space for their advertising, virtue signalling and lies, especially lies about abuse. Welby isn't the slightest bit bothered about the impact of his boasting while victims suffer, he has been contacted thousands of times about it and he continues. He's not 'shocked', this isn't a 'wake up call', he's known and been part of it all along and is only sorry that his church had to face the redacted past tense report before their boasts and lies in response made more news headlines than the suffering of the victims. During the IICSA report, Welby distressed victims by forcing on every church his lies about sorrow and shame, and yet that was two years ago and nothing has changed, his serious misconduct against the vulnerable adult hasn't been addressed, indeed it was within months of his narcissistic PR sorrow letter that he and his clergy had the vulnerable adult violently destroyed again and have left her homeless and unable to rebuild her life. What state are things in for this man to have falsehoods published still!!!

The bottom line is, the headlines by the senior clergy are a safeguarding failure and a risk to victims, most victims have been denied justice, most abusers have remained in high standing and in respected positions in the church, every Bishop and diocesan safeguarding officer has harmed and silenced victims. Removing safeguarding from Bishops and handing it over to safeguarding officers who have harmed victims would be utterly ridiculous. The failure of the senior clergy to resign who are blocking safeguarding complaints, including Bishops Walker and Gibbs and the Archbishops, will mean that nothing changes. 

Guess what response my letter and many many others being sent will get? Nothing, none. Business as usual, the church of England way, they will go on harming and abusing with impunity with the IICSA out of the way and no further reports ever being done. They will continue to do false independent reports for their own PR glory, and victims will go on suffering and the press will go on being complicit. The telegraph refusing comments on Welby's boast after previous boasts are met with fury from the general public is typical of the situation.

Justin Welby's narcissism and psychopathy makes the Church of England's poor image as a leeching lying abusive burden on the country even worse, and at a time like this, when the church have turned their back on the country during the crisis, things really do need to change. The pre-emptive apology and the use of the disgraced and under a formal complaint archbishops' council to try to bring attention to the 'probably never distributed' compensation to abuse victims should be the lowest that Welby and his dying church can stoop, but they never fail to surprise, and victims wearily know that now that the IICSA have enabled the church rather than holding them to account, the boasting will go on and on and on, year after year, especially while Welby refuses to resign or is being forced not to by his sponsors in the UAE or Russia or wherever. What other reason could there be for something like Welby to remain and behave like this?

Words fail me. Nothing anyone says or does seems to stop the Church of England's vanity and harm to the vulnerable, the IICSA have actively enabled it and now it is business as usual for the cult that interferes in politics and current affairs to try to glorify themselves while re-abusing victims and the vulnerable. Words fail many people this week, but the church of england is only relevant to the minority of mainly elderly people who naively believe what BBC 4 broadcast to protect the C of E, it is only relevant as a place of worship for less than 2% of the UK and at the moment still wrongly has guardianship of schools despite the level of abuse and safeguarding failure, and is otherwise irrelevant. It is laughable that Baroness Nicholson tried to berate me over the 'humble good works' of the C of E when in reality every little 'good work' is spewed all over the news in direct opposition to Jesus' teaching and the amount of abuse, harm, lives lost far outweighs the 'good in return for PR glory'.

Bishops please don't abuse us through the media any further, even your vain lies on your websites in response to the report are an abuse of victims; millionaires in palaces who hate the vulnerable, leave the media for real news; and news and press outlets, please stop taking part in this farce and ignoring the victims and their advocates and families, give us a voice.

sincerely, 

John Ian Carter
