Priests indulged in ‘binge drinking culture’ and played ‘seven last shots of Christ’ at Welsh cathedral
The priests, which are defined as “excessive drinking culture ında in a cathedral, are accused of playing the play“ Christ’s seven last shoot ”after a good Friday service.
Former choir singers in the Bangor Cathedral claimed that he had “look like any excuse to remove the wine” in the church, which has been involved in discussions in recent weeks.
The accusations follow a protective investigation that raises complaints about alcohol use and sexual behavior at the Bangor Cathedral.
Andrew John, the Archbishop of Wales, announced that he retired after the critical report of his bishop.
There is no suggestion that the Archbishop is inappropriate. In the light of the Church in Wales, the BBC said that there should be a change in leadership, procedures and governance at the bishop of Bangor “in the light of the report.
An anonymous singer in the church told the BBC that he was sexually assaulted by a training by a man in 2022 to become a priest.
The church in Wales told the BBC that he was one of the two people who complained about the man’s behavior.
The incident was reported and the man’s priest education did not come to the fore.
The woman said that the man was “too much to drink too much” until the attack.
He said: “That night I warned people about drinking more than anyone else. These warning signs were ignored and this attack led to an attack.”
Despite taking an apology, he said that drinking culture has not changed.
“On a Sunday morning, Prosecco bottles would pass.”
“All kinds of external activity or large internal activity had prosecco or wine.”
He also remembered an inappropriate drinking game played by the Choir and the priest members after a cathedral concert on Friday in 2023.
“A few of the priests came out with choir,” he said. “It was deemed appropriate to make the last seven shoots of Christ.”
“Since Christ was the last seven words, we said seven parts of the last seven words in the concert – and somehow it somehow turned into seven shots of Christ.”
“I think I left after the first shot because I was like ‘I don’t think it was suitable’.
An old clerk in the Cathedral shared his experiences of “excessive drinking culture”.
29 -year -old Esmé Byrd told BBC that some people would be “really drunk with disaster” and also shared concerns about lack of education.
The Church spokesman in Wales told BBC that they did not believe that the Bangor Cathedral was insecure for children, but that the improvements in politics were necessary.
“The abuse of alcohol is always inappropriate,” they said: “Previous concerns about a drinking culture in the cathedral contributed to the decision to assume a visit of a bishop.
“The application group, which deals with the suggestions from the visit, develops a policy of alcohol use. Alcohol is no longer available after service.
“Inappropriate use of alcohol in and during cathedral -related activities involved, some of them encourage some of them to consume alcohol.
“This inappropriate behavior is discussed in the necessary actions after the visit.
“DBS controls are required and the protection of the training provided in line with the church in the British legislation and Wales policies.”
He contacted the Independent Bangor Cathedral and the Church of Wales.
