Anglican Church Defrocks Priest Over Controversial Gesture at Pro-Life Event
Calvin Robinson loses priestly license after mimicking Elon Musk's polarizing salute, sparking condemnation and resignations from his gaming website staff.
- The Anglican Catholic Church revoked Calvin Robinson's license after he mimicked Elon Musk's widely criticized gesture at the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington, D.C.
- Robinson claimed the gesture, which some interpreted as resembling a Nazi salute, was intended as ironic humor mocking liberal critics of Musk.
- The Church stated Robinson had been warned against online trolling and provocative actions, deeming them incompatible with a priestly vocation.
- Robinson's ownership of the gaming website 'God Is a Geek' led to its staff resigning en masse, citing his actions as incompatible with their values.
- Robinson, a British conservative commentator, had recently moved to the U.S. and was briefly a priest at St. Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church in Michigan.
