CWN Editor's Note: Hundreds of Anglican clerics had become Catholic priests since 1992, when the Church of England accepted the ordination of women, the Daily Telegraph reports.

In those 32 years, the Telegraph reports, roughly one-third of all men ordained to the Catholic priesthood had previously been members of the Anglican clergy.
