A new study has revealed the scale of Anglican clergy who entered into full communion with the Catholic Church over the past three decades, with hundreds of vicars and even entire groups of ministers making the journey to Rome.
The research, published on 20 November by St Mary’s University, Twickenham, shows that roughly a third of all Catholic priests ordained in England and Wales between 1992 and 2024 were formerly Anglican, marking what scholars describe as one of the most significant shifts in the religious landscape since the Oxford Movement.
