All of them also understand that to lose one Archbishop to Cathy Newman is a misfortune, but to lose two would have made the Church ridiculous. The Times and the Telegraph both got the statutory quote from Andrew Graystone about how survivors were shocked and disappointed by her appointment.

The Lambeth Palace communications department — as distinct from the Church House operation — was startlingly difficult to deal with. That sort of thing needs to be done as a proper video, or as a press release.
