Father James Mawdsley is a Catholic priest, former British diplomat, and Human Rights activist, known for his outspoken defense of traditional Catholic teachings and his advocacy for persecuted Christians. Before entering the priesthood, he gained international attention for his activism in Myanmar, where he was imprisoned and tortured for protesting against the oppressive military regime there. After his release, he pursued studies in philosophy and theology, eventually being ordained as a priest in 2016 after attending seminary in a traditional Catholic order in full communion with the Church.
