Father Calvin Robinson was defrocked after serving five months at St. Paul's in Grand Rapids. He came to the U.S. after claiming on his website that England had grown too secular and apathetic.

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.

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.

At the National Pro-Life Summit, provocateur Fr. Calvin Robinson of the Anglican Catholic Church threw up a Nazi-like salute. After video of the gesture went viral, the Anglican Catholic Church revoked his license to practice in the church.

A British priest who delivered an Elon Musk-inspired, straight-armed salute during his address to a pro-life gathering last week has been kicked out of his church. The Anglican Catholic Church announced Wednesday that Father Calvin Robinson is “no longer serving as a priest” in the denomination.
