"While we cannot say what was in Mr. Robinson's heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favor with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition," reads a statement posted by the Anglican Catholic Church on Wednesday. "Mr. Robinson 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 Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked. He is no longer serving as a priest in the ACC."

Awww, people are realizing a Nazi salute has consequences. Good for him!
Like all billionaires, Elon can (unfortunately) do whatever the fuck he wants and he will be okay. If your boss isn't fasscy then you're gonna get wrecked.
Ah yes. Elon's salute. The famous salute. Sounds OK to me if it's just a salute. Is there some simple way to describe this salute, to give the reader an idea if it's a good or a bad salute? I wonder if there would be a precise description for this salute, my dear journos?
Ah yes it's a nazi salute, of course. Easy to forget this adjective, since it's completely harmless and very mundane.
Oh yes, some people did recognise that the arm gesture in question may have been used by the Romans. Very neutral, we all know the Romans were around a long time ago, so..
You can just say "Does a nazi salute"
Yeah, stop giving Elon a perpetual boner by calling this an "Elon" salute. Give credit where credit is due. Like you could say, I just took a giant Elon and everyone would indeed know what you meant, but you really should just say you took a big shit.
It's hilarious to me to see something actually get a priest kicked out of the Catholic church.
He's not Catholic.
Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)
Not according to the Catholic church. They're not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.

Angelican usually refers to the Church of England, a Protestant denomination.
"Catholic" usually refers to the Catholicism, a catholic denomination.
Weirdly, it means "universal". It's just used as a short for "Roman-Catholic". The orthodox church is officially the "Orthodox Catholic Church".
Gotcha! I had no clue Anglican was a protestant denomination. TIL!

"Nazi salute"
FTFY
This guy worships the "Turn the other cheek" guy, right?
The "love your neighbors" guy?
The "unconditional love" guy?
Just want to make sure I fully understand.
No. He's lying about that part. He worships his own ego.
You understand, he… does not

It’s a Inauguration Day nazi salute. Tell it like it is.
... Gamer Priest?
I am just imagining like a Christian BF42 server that bans you for swearing, but a lan party of such people, in a church.
They only play Christian games, like Binding of Isaac
He truly was banned from the Christian Minecraft server
Say Nazi in the title, you fucking cowards. Sprinkle on some allegedly if you have to. You know goddamn well what it was.
I don't think it's cowardice, I think it's a very purposefully trying to normalizing it.
it was just a joke bro, just get on the train, trust me bro
Proverbs 26:18-19
Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,
Is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, “I was only joking!”
The irony is, just by looking at him, this is exactly the type of person Hitler wanted to exterminate.
I saw the video of this a little earlier. He smirked with the "My heart goes out to you" part. 🤢
I heard he almost wasn't confirmed in the church in the first place, but I didn't know about the gaming website editorial staff resigning. Wow.
He literally wasn't ordained by the Anglican Church because of his "anti woke" views. He joined a knock off church which wasn't desperately to be part of the catholic church (but, and I can't stress this enough, isn't at all). He's cosplaying being a vicar for clout while being a fucking worse bigot than two of the largest organised denominations.

Good. Fuck nazis.
I'm sorry, the staff of his what? Why? What the fuck?
It's 2025, some of the gamer priests are Nazis. Please try to keep up, it will only get wilder
Yeah, the Nazi who's an Anglican Catholic priest runs a gamer website. Sure, it sounds like Mad Libs, but it's just 2025.

That's one unusual looking fellow. Perhaps he could find a new job as a mad scientist of sorts?
