If we want people to engage with our Christian tradition and start going on pilgrimage again to the pilgrimage sites of England,
then what we need to do is have a church that is fit and proper to receive the pilgrims and to treat them with the proper hospitality that they should.

And I actually think we need to change the constitutional arrangement of this country.
Well, he can't.
There's no... He's not.
Well, he can't.
Constitutionally, he's powerless.
He's a toothless tiger.
All that he can do is influence people through friendships, maybe.
