Have the churches been betrayed by their bishops?

Published: April 23, 2020, 2:39 p.m.

Last week I was sent a copy of a devastating 7,000-word letter accusing the Catholic bishops of England and Wales of grossly mishandling the coronavirus crisis by lobbying the government for a complete shutdown of their own churches, even for private prayer. As you'll hear in this week\u2019s Holy Smoke podcast, McDonald really stuck the knife into the Church\u2019s officials, producing document after document calling into question their integrity. So have the churches been betrayed by their bishops?
