Well, that’s that then. The silly spat that started when Sony’s PS3 game, Resistance: Fall of Man, used Manchester Cathedral as a backdrop is finally over, with Sony having its sins absolved.
This is far cry from the most recent outburst where the Church wanted PS3 games removed from the BAFTA 2007 game nominations. That didn’t work but considering PS3 games won nothing last night, the church needn’t have worried. Speaking to the Beeb, the Very Reverend Rogers Govender said:
“I think some important lessons have been learnt. We forgive Sony for what they have done, even though they still believe they have done no wrong. In an industry that is breaking new frontiers, it is important that long held traditions of film and television are maintained. These traditions include having courtesy, respecting the dignity of your subject, and admitting when mistakes have been made.”
"In so many ways Sony have failed to live up to these standards by disrespecting people of faith and the victims of gun crime in Manchester.”
OK, that was a statement of forgiveness, wasn’t it?-Martin Lynch

Thank you, Rev for the Dispensation. Rub-a-dub-dud, how about some grub?
A beautiful picture it is. The Rev should be happy that Sony brought it to the eyes of millions of people who had not seen it ever before.
Oh, yes "It is Devine to Forgive"
