约克大主教不会因为过去处理一名被判犯有历史虐待罪的牧师而面临纪律处分,尽管他承认有错误。 The Archbishop of York won’t face discipline over past handling of a priest convicted of historical abuse, despite acknowledging mistakes.

约克大主教Stephen Cottrell不会因对David Tudor牧师的处理而面临纪律处分。 David Tudor神父在承认历史上对两个少女的性虐待后,于2024年被禁止终身居住。 The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, will not face disciplinary action over his handling of priest David Tudor, who was banned for life in 2024 after admitting to historical sexual abuse of two teenage girls. 一个教会法庭认定,虽然Cottrell关于延长Tudor合同的决定令人遗憾和有缺陷,但这些决定是善意作出的,不构成不当行为,因为他无权中止Tudor的合同,并继承了复杂的局势。 A Church tribunal found that while Cottrell’s decisions to renew Tudor’s contracts were regrettable and flawed, they were made in good faith and did not constitute misconduct, as he lacked the authority to suspend Tudor and inherited a complex situation. Cottrell承认他的错误,对受害者受到的影响表示悲痛,并说他今天将采取不同行动。 Cottrell acknowledged his mistakes and expressed sorrow for the impact on victims, saying he would act differently today. 这项裁决引起了虐待幸存者的批评,他们说这破坏了问责制,但法庭认为没有必要采取正式行动。 The ruling has drawn criticism from abuse survivors who say it undermines accountability, but the tribunal concluded no formal action was warranted.
