The Anglican Catholic Church, a conservative sect that split off from the Anglican/Episcopal Church (Catholic in this case is an adjective meaning universal) has defrocked one of their priests for giving a Nazi Salute during a speech.
Given said cleric's close ties to UKIP, I'm not surprised that he went all, "Seig Heil," though I am surprised that the church acted quickly and decisively:
The Anglican Catholic Church said it had revoked the license of one of its priests Wednesday after he delivered “a gesture that many have interpreted as a pro-Nazi salute” at the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington days earlier.
Calvin Robinson, who had recently started work at St. Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church in Michigan, said his action was intended to imitate Elon Musk’s inauguration hand gesture that critics contended was a Nazi salute, which Musk has denied.
“I gave a talk at a pro-life event that seemed to go down well,” Robinson said on X. “The joke at the end was a mockery of the hysterical ‘liberals’ who called Elon Musk a Nazi for quite clearly showing the audience his heart was with them.”
Robinson, who maintains a large social media presence and was billed at the summit as a conservative commentator, declined to comment Thursday. The Anglican Catholic Church said in a statement that Robinson previously “had been warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist.”
“Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked,” the statement reads. “And we believe that those who mimic the Nazi salute, even as a joke or an attempt to troll their opponents, trivialize the horror of the Holocaust and diminish the sacrifice of those who fought against its perpetrators.”
When the fucking ACC has a better, more honest, and braver response to this than does the media or the Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment), we are in a world of hurt.
