You can just say "Does a nazi salute"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

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.

Isn't he like, part black, or of ethnic descent at least? Should be more aware of dog whistles like that damned Nazi salute. It ain't callin in the Border Collie's for dinner...

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.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago

No. He's lying about that part. He worships his own ego.

[–] PumpkinEscobar 6 points 1 day ago

You understand, he… does not

It's hilarious to me to see something actually get a priest kicked out of the Catholic church.

Wouldn’t “Anglican Catholic Church” mean he’s Catholic? (Genuine question!)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Not according to the Catholic church. They're not Anglicans according to the Anglican church either.

[–] Snowclone 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Anglican really just means a version of the Catholic church splintered off by Anglo-Saxons, and Catholic means for everyone, so all their church name really means is a Anglican tradition, or style church for everyone. Thera millions of sects out there that use very similar titles and terminology, it's not always misleading even if it's confusing or obscure language.

Angelican usually refers to the Church of England, a Protestant denomination.

"Catholic" usually refers to the Catholicism, a catholic denomination.

[–] Aqarius 5 points 1 day ago

Weirdly, it means "universal". It's just used as a short for "Roman-Catholic". The orthodox church is officially the "Orthodox Catholic Church".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Gotcha! I had no clue Anglican was a protestant denomination. TIL!

It’s a Inauguration Day nazi salute. Tell it like it is.

FTFY

... 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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

They only play Christian games, like Binding of Isaac

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

He truly was banned from the Christian Minecraft server

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Interesting. I only heard about him yesterday so I was going off reports I came across, all of which seem to treat him as having been an Anglican priest and one of which added he almost wasn't ordained, but later was. Are you from the area? I know it's certainly easy for one media outlet to make an error that is then echoed by almost every other one.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm British - he regularly appeared on a wannabe Fox network "GB News" alongside a similarly "anti woke activist" Lawrence Fox (who is his own flavour of unseemly), was (is?) a spokesman for UKIP - the party which drove us to Brexit. I've taken an interest in him when I saw his dog collar and questioned his church membership, so I occasionally check in on him to piss myself off and generally increase my blood pressure.

I also used to be a practicing Christian so I'm very into denominational splitting and infighting - he studied theology, didn't get a job with the Church of English and was then ordained into the "Free Church of England", where he became a bishop. He's bounced around a few other denominations since; the Nordic Catholic Church, a Lutheran denomination, and now the Anglican Catholic Church.

Him being blocked from entering the Anglican Church of England (the real actual one which is linked to the royals) was reported in fairly mainstream news here. It seems like the church was actually pretty tight lipped on their reasoning for him not taking a position with them, and he's basically outed himself as too bigoted for the church by handing over to the press internal communication regarding him he secured through an effective FOI request.

He's an interesting chap.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Seems what he did was join four different churches in succession according to his Wikipedia page. The last one people are now talking about (Anglican Catholic Church) was based in the US.

I'm sorry, the staff of his what? Why? What the fuck?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's 2025, some of the gamer priests are Nazis. Please try to keep up, it will only get wilder

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the Nazi who's an Anglican Catholic priest runs a gamer website. Sure, it sounds like Mad Libs, but it's just 2025.
