The leadership of St. Paul's cathedral may be siding with the 1% but it's good to see that others within the church aren't going along with the madness. Yes, St. Paul's has finally backed down but it's clear who they support in this debate. Archbishop Rowan Williams has some liberal leanings, but he also can be fairly conservative on other issues. The Guardian:
The archbishop of Canterbury has outlined a package of political and financial measures needed to take forward the "moral agenda" of Occupy London campaigners encamped outside St Paul's Cathedral.
Backing a new tax on banking, Rowan Williams said the protest against financial inequality and banking excesses had been seen "by an unexpectedly large number of people as the expression of a widespread and deep exasperation with the financial establishment that shows no sign of diminishing".
Endorsing the idea of a "Robin Hood" tax on financial transactions, he said: "There is still a powerful sense around – fair or not – of a whole society paying for the errors and irresponsibility of bankers; of impatience with a return to 'business as usual' – represented by still-soaring bonuses and little visible change in banking practices."
