The Pastoral Review (formerly Clergy Review and then Priests & People) is an international academic journal serving ordained and lay ministers in the Roman Catholic Church since 1931, published by the Tablet Publishing Co of England.
Its prior editor was David Sanders, who was succeeded at the beginning of 2005 by Michael Hayes, then head of the School of theology, philosophy, and history and subsequently Vice Principle of St Mary's University, Twickenham, University of Surrey, and then President of Mary Immaculate College in Limerick until his death in April 2017.[1] The editor from April 2017 until his death in June 2022 was Anthony Towey. The current editor is Ashley Beck, also based at St Mary's University.
An unrelated 'journal and a record of all matters affecting the pastoral and agricultural interests throughout Australasia' with the same name was published from 1913-1977.[2]
