The wit and wisdom of John Sentamu

From yesterday's Metro:

"As a society our collective pursuit of making money reaped its reward and a collapse was unavoidable". He continued: "Did we really think that interest rates, house prices and mortgage offers would go on rising without a limit, like a juggler optimistically adding more and more balls to his act with only the same two hands to catch them?"

It appears that many people geuinely did believe that house prices and mortgage offers would rise without limit, but that misconeption was based on the idea that interest rates would remain low.

From today's Metro:

The Archbishop of York has attacked the "glory hunting" decision to stage two Premier League football matches on Easter Sunday. John Sentamu joined other church leaders in saying the decision to play games showed disdain for the religious traditions of Britain.

From where I'm sitting, it appears that football a strong part of our tradition, which attracts an almost religious fervour. So why is it OK for him to show "disdain" for that?
