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.

Nah, at the "leadership" level Religion is just another kind of scam.

It's only the riff-raff who are genuinely believers in that stuff and even those pick and chose the parts of it they follow (you will notice that, for example, almost none of the "believers" in Abrahamic religions care about God's Commandment against Greed or the lesson of Jesus kicking out the Money Lenders from the Temple).

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

"Nazi salute"

FTFY

[-] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 52 points 2 days ago

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

[-] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

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!)

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago

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

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

So... "let's be neither of those things by using both of their names at the same time"?

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Like all Church schisms it's "we're the only ones who are right about how our god is supposed to be worshiped", so they don't feel bad about taking the names of Anglicans or Catholics because they think that those other groups are doing religion wrong, so who cares if it's confusing.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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@lemmy.world 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".

[-] asterism@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

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

... 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.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago

They only play Christian games, like Binding of Isaac

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

He truly was banned from the Christian Minecraft server

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 29 points 2 days ago

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!”

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 days ago

Say Nazi in the title, you fucking cowards. Sprinkle on some allegedly if you have to. You know goddamn well what it was.

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...

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The irony is, just by looking at him, this is exactly the type of person Hitler wanted to exterminate.

[-] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Good. Fuck nazis.

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[-] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.
