Calvin Robinson Gets Ministry License Revoked After Making ‘Nazi Salute’ at Pro-Life Rally
Robinson is (or now was) the rector of St Paul’s Anglican Catholic Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which is part of the Anglican Catholic Church.
Known primarily as a conservative co-belligerent who has valiantly and courageously been fighting leftism and progressivism in the UK, he attracted some prominence and closer vetting within the Reformed world in recent months after being tapped to appear in Joel Webbon’s upcoming Christ is King: How to Defeat Trashworld! conference. Discovering a predilection for calling John Calvin a heretic, attacking the Protestant Reformation, and making sensational comments about The Virgin Mary’s prowess, he was removed from speakership at one conference, yet remains slated to speak at Trashworld.
In a statement on X, ACC Bishop Chandler Holder Jones announced that Robinson was having his ministry license revoked for mimicking a “Nazi salute” at a pro-life rally.
Reading like an email of CNN talking points being circulated to members of The View, the Bishop ultimately notes that “online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation” and as a result, “his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC.”
Here is the “Nazi salute” in question, which was clearly meant as a fun and playful reference to progressive Democrats’ maniacally overwrought reaction to Elon Musk’s infamous salute at Trump’s inauguration day ceremony. Tellingly, the crowd listening to Robinson took it for the joke it was, with raucous laughter and cheering afterward.
Robinson confirmed as much while also denying any Nazi sympathies, writing on X that he was prepared to “take the consequences as they come.”
For the record, in case it needs saying: I am not a Nazi. I gave a talk at a pro-life event that seemed to go down well, I am pleased to have contributed to what I believe to be the most important of causes. The enemy hates that, of course, and the attacks have been plentiful. That is fine and to be expected.
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. Context is key, but sometimes people ignore context to confirm their own prejudices. People see what they want to see.
My attempt at dry wit, in that typical British way, was not a joke at the expense of WWII, nor an admission of my membership in the Nationalist Socialist Party. That would be an incredibly ignorant and bad faith assumption to make. The responses are very telling, though. The people who understand, cheer – those who have eyes to see. The people who do not want to understand, reach for their pitchforks. They have found a new channel for their hated. They remain in my prayers; may the Lord soften their hearts.
Do not let the liberals distract from the real issue, the matter at hand, that we are allowing and enabling infanticide, and it must stop.
Whether a silly old cleric like me makes a poor joke is irrelevant. Do not be swayed and distracted by the enemy whispering in your ears. Focus on the light.
All human life is sacred. Imago Dei. I will take the consequences as they come. Those of us in the pro-life camp adorn the full armour of God. You can consider my joke crass. But I ask you to consider if your responses have been proportionate? “

He should not be in any leadership position in the church of Jesus Christ.
Its a Roman salute. Can’t be Nazi if he didn’t say “Heil Hitler.” If he said “We who are about to die salute you” then its the gladiator salute. If he said “Christ is king” then its totally compatible with Anglo-Catholicism. Just because Hitler moved his arm a certain way for a few years doesn’t mean Ceasar Augustus’ salute is now “Nazi.” Naziism died in 1945 (except in Israel where the Nazi Jews genocide Gaza) but the glory of Rome is forever!!!!!!!!!!!
Ultimately this will humble Calvin Robinson with regard to the Reformation since he will find Catholic hierarchies (whether in communion with the pope or not) are all either in bed with the Jews (literally despite their claimed celibacy) or are crypto-Jews themselves. He will find that low church Protestantism is a necessity and is where he actually belongs. Supersessionism is rejected by all the hierarchical churches because Jews easily took over the top of each hierarchy through credentialism. The true church survives in thhe distributed congregational model not any high church. It will be agrueling revelation for Calvin Robinson but hopefully he’ll get there soon.
