One of my own personal heroes in the faith, Father Calvin Robinson, a priest in the Old Catholic Church, has announced that he will be relocating out of the United Kingdom. Robinson has created a reputation for being an outspoken critic of wokeness both in the culture and in the Church of England, calling for a return to true, faithful, biblical Christianity.
Some personal news:
It is with a heavy heart that I announce I am leaving the United Kingdom.
Starmer's dark Satanic Mills are not for me. But I will be back. For now, it is time to regroup.
I will not cease from mental fight,
nor shall my sword sleep in my hand. pic.twitter.com/EZJNdlcjoj— Fr Calvin Robinson (@calvinrobinson) August 30, 2024
And as you might imagine, someone who is as bold as Robinson has made many, many enemies in the extremely liberal UK and all of them were celebrating his announcement this morning, including the folks who run The Express news publication.
The priest and broadcaster uploaded a candid video and admitted he is “looking to leave the United Kingdom”. He revealed part of his decision was because he had been called to a parish elsewhere and suggested: “London is no longer safe”. In view of his 374,000 followers, he declared: “Some personal news: It is with a heavy heart that I announce I am leaving the United Kingdom. “Starmer’s dark Satanic Mills are not for me. But I will be back. For now, it is time to regroup. “I will not cease from mental fight, nor shall my sword sleep in my hand.”
In a follow-up tweet he penned: “I am sure the kinder, gentler liberals will rejoice. The hard Left may have won the battle, but they will not win the war. Cry God for Harry, England and St George.” In the candid video online Calvin explained his decision had been “accelerated by the current state of affairs in the UK”.
The faithful priest then went on to say, “London is no longer safe. I’m a Nomad at the moment. Floating around without a home but I’ve been offered a home and I’m going to serve and minister to good faithful people.”
Father Calvin then made it clear that this was not a permanent goodbye, noting he does plan to return to the United Kingdom later on down the road, but said in the meantime his hope is that people “will soon wake up.”

“I want to specify that I love the UK,” he added in the video. “I am half-English. I love England and I love this nation with all of my heart. I want it to do better but right now it’s not a safe place politically. The politicians are going to clamp down on us. I will be back.”
Robinson, who has amazing content on YouTube, stated that his talk show on the platform will continue.
When you are a person who is dedicated to upholding the true faith of Jesus Christ, you will suffer. That’s a guarantee. We’re promised as such by Christ Himself in the Sacred Scriptures. He warns His disciples that when they are slapped by the hatred of the world, remember it hated Him first. The godless world is steeped in darkness and it hates when light is shined on it because it takes pleasure in that darkness. It does not like its dark deeds exposed, nor does it want to be held accountable to its Creator.
Thus it despises anyone in whom the light of Christ dwells. This is a truth that Father Calvin knows well. He was booted from GB News last October after he received enormous backlash after Laurence Fox made what some are calling “controversial remarks” on Dan Wootton Tonight.
There have been other, similar persecutions since then as well. But through it all Father Calvin Robinson has remained stalwart and defended the truth and the Church from her enemies that want to destroy her. I’m sure Our Lord, the Blessed Mother, and St. Michael are all proud of this man for the example he’s set for fellow believers.
