From Canterbury to Rome: The Journey of Anglican Priests | St. Charles Forum with Dr. Haas

The Pastoral Provision and the Call to Catholic Unity Saint Charles Forum Hosted By: John Haas, PH.D. Professor of Moral Theology St. Charles Borromeo Seminary Producers John Haas & Michael Warshaw In this exceptional episode of the St. Charles Forum, Dr. John Haas welcomes three former Anglican clergymen—Father James Parker of Charleston, Father George Rutler of New York, and Father Allan Hawkins of Fort Worth—each of whom entered the Catholic Church under the 1980 pastoral provision granted by Pope John Paul II. In a wide-ranging and personal conversation, they share how, guided by conscience and fidelity to Catholic truth, they left their ministry in the Episcopal Church and were ordained as Roman Catholic priests—despite being married. The episode offers rare insight into the deep theological convictions, ecclesial tensions, and providential steps that led these men home to the Church Christ founded. Together, the panel explores the historical origins and theological identity of the Anglican Communion, the liturgical beauty and internal divisions of Anglicanism, and the significant doctrinal developments—such as the ordination of women and the erosion of moral teaching—that prompted their decisions. The discussion explains the origins and process of the pastoral provision, the role of the Vatican, the importance of apostolic succession, and the Church’s careful discernment in ordaining former Episcopal priests. Through it all, viewers witness the witness of obedience, sacrifice, and love for the truth that has brought hundreds of former Anglican clergy—and in some cases, entire congregations—into full communion with Rome. This episode is a powerful testimony to the Church’s commitment to unity, truth, and pastoral charity.
