Joanna Margaret Bogle, DSG (née Nash; born September 1952) is a British Roman Catholic writer and broadcaster based in London.
[4] In 1996, Bogle was described by Catholic writer Peter Stanford as "a forceful, eloquent and youthful firebrand who has made it her business, with some success, to act as a counter-balance to Cristina Odone on the chat-show and soundbite circuit.
A short biography, "Courage and Conviction" (2013) concerns Mother Riccarda Beauchamp Hambrough and Sister Katherine Flanagan, two British Bridgettine nuns who helped to hide 50 Jewish refugees in Rome during the Second World War.
[9][10] A conservative who believes the Catholic Church should advocate fundamental truths rather than liberal attitudes,[11] Bogle has opposed the ordination of women priests.
[16] In March 2009, Bogle participated in a debate on Channel 4 News with Dr Rachel Baggaley, head of Christian Action's HIV programme, and presenter Jon Snow, on the Church's policy towards AIDS in Africa.
