Faithful Catholics urge orthodox media celebrity to 'come home to Rome'
No Room for Orthodoxy
"I'm an orthodox Anglican, and the Church of England has become very woke on issues in human sexuality, holy matrimony and transgenderism," Robinson lamented. "I prefer to stick to Scripture on these issues."
"The bishop of Fulham, Jonathan Baker, implied that it would be too 'turbulent' having me as a curate because there would be complaints about my views, due to my public profile," the ordinand told Church Militant.
