Stephen Cottrell, the archbishop of York, is set to temporarily take over as archbishop of Canterbury from Justin Welby. Bishop Helen-Ann Hartley has called for both Welby and Cottrell to resign, citing a lack of action in the case despite knowing about the priest's history.

The BBC said Stephen Cottrell, the archbishop of York, had in a previous diocese let a priest keep his job despite knowing that the Church had barred him from being alone with children and that he had paid compensation to a sexual abuse victim. Cottrell was briefed about priest David Tudor when he became bishop of Chelmsford in 2010, and worked with professionals to minimize the risk.But he said in a statement that he had not had legal grounds to suspend Tudor until nine years later, when police arrested him.
