Oswald Baker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Father Oswald Baker (1915–2004) was a controversial Catholic priest who lived in Downham Market in Norfolk. He made headlines in the 1970s when he refused to say the new vernacular Mass and insisted on saying the traditional Latin Mass. Initially he supported the Society of St. Pius X but Fr Baker became an advocate of the sedevacantist theory and in latter years he worked independently. The film actor Mel Gibson was a visitor to Father Baker's chapel when he visited the UK.
