Taking on the issues of the present he said that a sense that hero leaders could bring about improvement showed people had failed to learn the lessons of the Easter story.
Er.... 21st Century calling the Bish....

Who is "they" in your statement?
Why not just say 'the CoE doesn't have a pope' rather than play games? Some other deluded sky fairy believers hero worship a bloke in Rome.
