One twitter user shared her opinion Lord Sentamu based on a personal experience. She tweeted : “ Lord Sentamu is despicable and has no humility whatsoever. I knew that back in 2010 when I reported corner about Ripon House female bail hostel which the Church of England run in partnership with the Minstery of Justice . I got the brush off.” She highlighted that individuals such as him “ are not Christian but believe in status.”

Many also encouraged the people reading the news and sharing it to “ say a prayer for the young man who was raped and abused by a clergyman and then dismissed by Lord Sentamu. He is the primary victim in this tragedy, not anyone’s career.”
Today, when you're in mass or the Sunday service you attend please say a prayer for the young man, whoever he is, who was raped and abused by a clergyman and then dismissed by Lord Sentamu. He is the primary victim in this tragedy, not anyone's career.

People took this chance to attack those in power of the Church of England , as they “ lecture the government on morality. Yet they can’t get their own house in order first”.
Yet his boss lectures the government on morality. Get your own house in order first.
