This is disgusting of the church, Father Calvin deserves better. Such an honourable and intelligent man.

I hope that we can win the right back to free speech especially with Donald Trump now in power. Hope it gets infectious and cascades throughout the west.

If the Church of England has done this it's the final straw. Doesn't there have to be a professional hearing?

The trouble is the Lefties and people in power think that they are intelligent as well. But there not they are brainless and extreme idiots, they want to dictate to ALL of us and rule the world.

So sorry to hear this

He is so obviously a religious, loyal man with strong views. It is clearly not a Nazi salute. Jesus was persecuted so please never give up Father Calvin and I know your strong faith will get you through this.

Unfortunately I think it is yet another example of the church deserting Christians and the Christian faith. Father Calvin Robinson, would be one of the reasons I would be drawn back to attending church and once again believing in the Church!

I have seen clips on X of Church of England "priests" cowtowing to Islam. The founders of the Church would be disgusted. The whole country is being subverted to Islam by it's own church and Government. In the US we have nuts like the woman preacher speaking at Trump's service at the National Cathedral who was disrespectfully calling him out on behalf of illegal aliens (who illegally entered our country which is a violation of our laws) and people who want to convince kids that they are the wrong gender and undergo life changing "treatments" that in the end harm them. It is getting harder to find a church that is not compromised by wokeness. Because Father Calvin challenges the establishment straying that is why they used this to remove him.

They’re using this as an opportunity to get Fr Calvin because he doesn’t share their woke, liberal, lefty views. In their view “if you’re not with me, you’re against me.” I don’t see a way back in the ACCC for him.

Me either - after seeing the Episcopalean preacher call out Trump on behalf of people who like to confuse children on gender and encorage them to mutilate young kids and cause harmful changes to them that will affect their whole lives I think that church is lost as others are. I am not happy with the Catholic Church either - too woke and in with the Globalists. The Pope demands we all take in unlimited migrants, while he safely sits behind a wall, and unauthorized people who enter the Vatican get jailed. He also embraced Biden who pushes abortion very hard. I do not judge women who make that choice - I pray for them - but young women need to be exposed to ALL options and not have that one glorified. That is all I want - you cannot make the best choice when some options are immediately tossed out.

Fully agree. I’m a Roman Catholic but have nothing in common with Pope Frankie. He’s a globalist lefty in bed with Starmer and the WEF mob. They’ve blurred the lines of religion and politics. At least during the Crusades they had a sensible view of right versus wrong but that’s history. I’ve packed the church in until Frank pops off.

Father Calvin is a brave and loyal man.

Who do we write to? I would like to show my support of Father Calvin by writing a polite complaint.

I’m gobsmacked. What a shame we have to live in a humourless society where everyone is too scared of making a joke for fear of offending someone!! Even if the ACC did feel it was inappropriate, surely a quiet word would be more proportionate rather than a full blown cancellation??

This is an absolutely awful decision from Calvin’s church, and thoroughly undeserved. Unwarranted clampdowns on free speech are becoming worryingly frequent. It seems we’re no longer allowed to have a sense of humour, or an opinion, unless it conforms to what is considered acceptable by leftie elites. I do hope this is soon sorted in Calvin’s favour 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I saw the video - it is not even the same as Elon's. Very brief and looks like he is touching his heart and then quickly extending his arm. I do not see it as a "Hitler salute". I think they do not like his Conservative views or alignment with some of the views expressed by Trump.. Unfortunately, this looks like they had been looking to find a reason to get rid of Calvin and replace him with a woke figure, and they seized on this no matter how thin it is. I still support Calvin. Sadly so much church leadership has been led astray from it's mission so he is likely better off.

Disgusting behaviour from the ACC. The audience where Fr Calvin was giving his speech laughed, they clearly understood that he was joking & referencing what Elon Musk had done. How pathetic so many sections of society have become, it’s almost like they spend all their time analysing everything people say & do, looking for the tiniest of things to be “offended” by. Quite frankly these people & their sick obsessions offend me!

God Bless you Fr Calvin, I doubt that He would cancel you. Stay strong 🙏🏻

Why would Elon or Calvin who, both supported Jews during the Hamas atrocities, make a genuine Nazi salute, ask yourselves that you lefties who spend your time looking for something to be offended by. This is why Starmer is so dangerous by eroding our rights with ridiculous bills being forced through parliament. I doubt there will be many here to read the above but I'm sure there will be some trolls.

This has really depressed me as well as making me very angry. I only hope Father Calvin's spiritual faith will see him through all of this, which im sure it will given his obvious and very apparent mental strength, tolerance, intelligence and compassion. I send warmest thoughts and prayers

The Church may have let Fr Calvin down but God has not. The Church over the years has lost its soul to political and earthy agendas. Keep speaking the truth Fr Calvin you have your supporters!

What did Calvin do wrong ? I watched his video and I saw nothing to complain about whatsoever. As usual the bleeding heart brigade see offence where there is none. Time these idiots grew up and stopped rocking in a corner.

Calvin has been in four churches now. I hope he is able to continue as a church minister in some way. It seems to be much easier for church leaders to engage in left wing politics.
