Why Former Anglican Bishop Left To Join Catholic Church At 72 Years

Rev. Dr. Michael Nazir-Ali, a former Anglican Bishop of Rochester, England has left the Anglican Church for the Catholic faith.

The 72-year-old retired Bishop said his reason for leaving the Anglican church was because the church has significantly changed from what he knew it to be earlier in life…

“I am deeply saddened that the Church of England is not the church I joined. There are many individual parishes, priests, and believers who remain committed to biblical faith and values. But as an institution it seems to be losing its way.”

…and his reason for choosing the Catholic church as his new religion was because it supports human rights & helps millions of people around the world.

Rev. Dr. Michael Nazir-Ali acknowledged that the Catholic church has its own share of problems but “but the faith and values are those that I also hold and which I feel are being eroded in the Church of England”, he said.

He added that he had tried to change the system in the Anglican church but failed.

“Believe me, I have tried — but failed. The Church councils and synods are permeated by activists who each have a single-issue, often faddish agenda, whether it is about cultural correctness, ‘climate change,’ identity politics, multiculturalism (which actually encourages communities to live separately), or critical theory on race, religion, and gender — a neo-Marxist theory developed to create conflict by dividing people into victims and villains.”

Rev. Dr. Michael Nazir-Ali has joined the Catholic church with his wife and 2 children and hopes to be ordained a Catholic priest under the ordinariate, a section created by Pope Benedict XVI in 2011 with the aim of accommodating former Anglican priests.
