Goodall was appointed to minister to those Anglicans who don't accept female bishops and priests. He announced that after a long period of prayer he steps down to be received "into full communion" with the Church.
According to him, his life as an Anglican "has shaped and nourished my discipleship as a Catholic Christian for many decades.” He wants to always “treasure” that he ministered as an Anglican bishop “the sacramental grace of Christian life and faith” - although all Anglican “sacraments” are null and void - except for baptism and marriage.
Goodall is the second Bishop of Ebbsfleet who became a Catholic after Andrew Burnham converted in 2010.
