James Alison Biography

James Alison is one of the most popular and richest Theologian who was born on October 10, 1959 in London, England, United Kingdom.

James Alison (born October 10, 1959) is an English Roman Catholic priest and theologian. He was ordained in 1988 and was a member of the Dominican Order in 1981-95. The Congregation for the Clergy informed Alison of his laicization; he appealed this to the Pope and his current canonical status is inconclusive. Alison is noted for his application of René Girard’s anthropological theory to Christian systematic theology and for his work on LGBT issues.

Alison was a member of the Dominican order – his master’s degree is a Dominican lectorate – from 1981 to 1995. In 1996, he wrote to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith telling them that he believed his vows to be null as they were based on the “false premise of gay people being objectively disordered and thus celibacy being obligatory”. He offered to let them issue a decree saying that his ordination was null, but they declined, saying it was valid. Instead, the congregation asked him to seek laicisation, but Alison declined: “The form for doing that also required that lies to be told, so, on advice of a canon lawyer, I did nothing and heard nothing”. He told Commonweal magazine in 2012 that he was released from the Dominicans without penalty, and that he is uncertain of the validity of his vow of celibacy.
