Malcolm McMahon

Malcolm Patrick McMahon, OP, KC*HS (born 14 June 1949) is an English Catholic prelate who has served as Archbishop of Liverpool since 2014.

Making his religious profession in December 1977, McMahon studied philosophy at Blackfriars, Oxford and theology at Heythrop College.

[2] Archbishop McMahon was enthroned at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King on 1 May 2014, the Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker, before a congregation of three thousand.

In a pastoral letter read in the Diocese of Nottingham on Sunday 25 October 2009, then Bishop McMahon said:[6] Another aspect of priesthood that is often challenged is that of mandatory celibacy for our priests.

He defended the work of the Holy See and the Church in England and Wales on this and expressed the hope that the Vatican would become more open and transparent in its treatment of victims and perpetrators.

In his free time, the Archbishop enjoys playing golf and listening to live music and opera but also admits to being a fan of Norah Jones.
