On Easter Sunday, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, described the government's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda as "opposite the nature of God".
But the Prime Minister hit back, claiming in a meeting with MPs that the Archbishop had criticised the Rwanda deal more than Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Labour leader Keir Starmer called on the Prime Minister to apologise for his comments, but Johnson refused.
#Newsnight’s Political Editor Nick Watt explains how the spat came about, and the history between the Church and politics.
