I hope he's sincere, the best kind of sin, but I doubt it, and it doesn't matter.
The Church of England is a branch of the English government.
Like the Nobility neither has a place in any rational modern government.

In 1973 it was illegal to be gay, The church is still one step behind the updated laws of same sex marriage.

Is the apology to bring in new tithers because donations are down?

Organized religion has done so much damage to LGB and T people. We should be paid reparations.

BUT they are still not going to allow same sex marriages in their churches

Are they sorry for their (hopefully past) inhumanity, or for the lost revenues, as society changes attitudes about homosexuality?

How quaint. Almost politically correct. We’ve told our people to keep giving half assed blow jobs.

Oh?? The Church established by Henry VIII whose main belief was that God had had created society as it was and that this society should not change or be challenged. Henry believed that women were inferior to men and that those who were born into poverty were there because that was the way God ordained it to be.

Now apologize for the subjugation of women and being accessory to murders by Henry VIII!

Evil prats will continue to be evil prats precisely because their non-existent God told them to be so.

They are nothing more than a nasty mob of emotional delinquents!

Yet according to him, they are still not going to recognize same sex marriage.

So we apologize to the fish for taking them out of the pond, but we are still going to drain the pond.

I don't believe them. They're lying.

Yet they continue to refuse to carry out gay marriages.

Apologies don't do it when not accompanied by action.
