But for people to do that, they would have to accept what the Bishop says about judgment on society, whilst ignoring what the Bishop says about forgiveness and new life in Jesus, loving your enemies, and so on.
The entirety of Christian theology is absolutely colossal. It's not reasonable to take one single statement by one of its teachers made on one particular day and then assume that people would, or should, act solely on that.
