Former Father Calvin Robinson of St. Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church in Grand Rapids, MI, was defrocked after imitating a Nazi-style salute at a pro-life rally in Washington D.C. Robinson had a history of conservative activism in the U.K., where he was involved in politics and popular media. He had joined St. Paul’s as priest-in-charge in 2024 after feeling disillusioned with the secularism in England.
Robinson, who also holds a prominent role in the U.K. Independence Party, has faced backlash for his controversial views on topics such as LGBTQ rights and racial justice. He is known for expressing anti-secular, nationalistic beliefs in his essays and blogs. Despite being active in pop culture and video games, his website Godisageek.com has distanced itself from him following the incident, with the entire editorial team stepping down.
While Robinson has not commented on his removal from the church, he has expressed concern for his parishioners and their access to sacraments. Although he remains focused on pastoral care, he awaits further guidance from Archbishop Mark Haverland. St. Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church and the ACC have not provided further details on Robinson’s removal at this time.
Robinson’s removal from St. Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church has caused a stir in the community, with many questioning his future role in conservative platforms and media. Despite the controversy, Robinson’s impact on the political and media landscape remains a subject of interest.
