John Charles Broadhurst (born 20 July 1942) is an English Catholic priest who was formerly the Anglican Bishop of Fulham in the Diocese of London from 1996 to 2010.
He resigned in order to be received into the Catholic Church and became a priest of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham in 2011.
He became Area Dean of Brent while at Wembley Park, and East Haringey during his time at Wood Green.
[4] In October 2010, Broadhurst publicly stated his intention of being received into the Catholic Church and entering a personal ordinariate for former Anglicans when it was established.
[5] In the same speech he described the Church of England's General Synod, in respect of its decision about the way in which objectors to the idea of ordaining women as bishops may or may not have legislative provision to protect their interests, as having been "... vindictive and vicious.
It has been fascist in its behaviour, marginalising those who have been opposed to women's ordination",[6] in respect of which he later claimed on the BBC's Sunday programme to have been referring only to the House of Clergy in the Church of England's General Synod.
