Peter Francis Watterson (August 16, 1927, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania – September 12, 1996) was an American Catholic priest who had formerly been a bishop of the Continuing Anglican movement.
[3] On January 28, 1978, Watterson and three other former Episcopalian priests were consecrated bishops for a newly-forming body to be called the Anglican Church in North America.
[5] In October 1978 an assembly of the Anglican Church in North America met in Dallas, Texas, to discuss a proposed constitution.
Although Watterson originally voted with Doren and Mote, he eventually joined with Morse to form a separate body.
In 1979 Watterson and Morse’s dioceses held a convention at Hot Springs, Arkansas, to form a body known as the Anglican Church in America, but the union did not last long.
In August 1987 he was ordained a Catholic priest for the Diocese of Palm Beach[7] in accordance with the Pastoral Provision for former Episcopalians.
