Anglican Catholic Church 'condemns Nazi ideology and antisemitism in all its forms' after Father Calvin Robinson makes gesture at pro-life rally

Rev. Calvin Robinson, Priest-in-charge of the St. Paul's Anglican Catholic Church (ACC) on Lake Michigan Drive in Grand Rapids, is no longer serving as a priest in the church and has had his license in the church revoked.

“Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC,” the church said, adding that mimicking the Nazi salute is “harmful, divisive, and contrary to the tenets of Christian charity.”

A Grand Rapids priest was removed from his position in the Anglican Catholic Church on Wednesday after mimicking a gesture recently made by Elon Musk, which has been compared to a 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.

Calvin Robinson blamed the fallout on liberals attempting to distract people from what he claims is the real issue: infanticide.

The Anglican Catholic Church said Calvin Robinson was previously warned against ‘online trolling.’ Robinson called the gesture an ‘attempt at dry wit.’
