Patrick McLaughlin (1909 – 1988) was an Anglican priest and Christian thinker who resigned the priesthood of the Church of England in 1962 and became a Roman Catholic. While he was a priest he was known (in the Anglo-Catholic manner) as Father Patrick McLaughlin.〔 He later became a lay brother of the Order of Saint Benedict. ==Early life and background== The son of the Reverend Alfred Harry McLaughlin (1852–1935) and his second wife, Jessie Mabel Vale (called May), McLauglin was born in 1909 while his father was Vicar of Much Birch, Herefordshire. His mother was the daughter of the Revd John Bartholomew Vale (1823–96), Rector of Crostwight, Norfolk, and of his wife Clara (1836–1919). His father retired to Malvern in 1913.〔(Rev.

However, he resisted the possibility of becoming an actor at a time when acting was not altogether seen as a respectable profession.〔(Christian Thinker Unfrocked Himself ) at harrymclaughlin.com .
