I first came across Fr James Mawdsley around the year 2000. At that time, he was in the news as a campaigner against the repression of the tribal people of Burma by their government. Many years later I met him in completely unrelated circumstances, and discovered that he was about to start training to become a priest of the Priestly Society of St Peter. After studying at Wigratzbad, he was ordained in Warrington in 2016, and has served the FSSP, mostly in Austria and Germany.
Recently, he has hit the headlines again. He has embarked on a new campaign to fight the attempt by Pope Francis to curtail and eventually eliminate the Latin Mass. In order to be free to take on this cause, and not to cause the FSSP embarrassment, Fr Mawdsley has resigned from the order.
He has now released a video, which can be found on the Remnant and on Fr Z's blog as well as several other places.
