The Anglican Catholic Church has removed a Grand Rapids priest for making an alleged Nazi salute.

Calvin Robinson, priest-in-charge at St. Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church, was defrocked Thursday, Jan. 29, after church leadership learned he’d made the controversial salute to a crowd at the National Pro-Life Summit on Jan. 25 in Washington, D.C.

        Kent County is in the northern part of the lower peninsula. The most well known city in the area is Grand Rapids, home of the DeVos family (Amway, Former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos). In more recent history they have usually been right leaning, and the sheriff’s office had been in the news for not the greatest reasons.

        That’s what I know and colors my perception. I’m honestly surprised that Harris won that county, so maybe there is a culture shift up there.

        There are hate and white supremacist groups scattered all over the state, more so as you move further from Detroit and Lansing as the major metropolitan areas. If there was a bigotry capital though I’d put my money on Howell.

      Technically he’s British. He’s from Nottingham.

      He’s just drawn to places where being a throbber is considered ok.

        So he’s an immigrant, aligning himself with the immigrant-hating Trump fascists. How stupid exactly is he? I guess he thinks they’d never “deport” him to a camp because he’s one of the good ones.
