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.

“Clearly, he has not, and as such, his license in this Church has been revoked.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,” the church said, adding that mimicking the Nazi salute is “harmful, divisive, and contrary to the tenets of Christian charity.”
