Calvin Robinson said he made gesture as ‘a joke’ to mock those who denounced Elon Musk’s similar salute

Summary

Calvin Robinson, a Michigan priest with the Anglican Catholic Church, has been defrocked after making what appeared to be a Nazi salute at the National Pro-Life Summit on January 25.

The church revoked his license, condemning the gesture as harmful and contrary to Christian values.

Robinson defended it as a joke mocking liberals’ criticism of Elon Musk, whose own gestures and comments on Nazism have sparked controversy.

    For those, like myself, who have never heard of the Anglican Catholic Church: they are neither Anglican nor Catholic.

      Yeah. This is one of the breakaway groups from when the Episcopal Church started ordaining women in the 1970s. Fun fact: the “Anglican Catholic Church” was one of the names considered for the Episcopal Church when it was founded.

      It’s interesting to see the contrast between his remarks and that of Bishop Budde.
