I thought you lot were exaggerating for poking fun’s sake. So I watched the clip… it’s exactly as described. Clearly. In fact, Joseph openly stares at Olivers’ crotch and smiles with what appears to be satisfaction. It’s unbelievable.

I assume you mean those Bishops should be prosecuted, not just removed from their calling? And the way to stop it happening is to stop one to one interviews by Bishops, or anyone else.
