The Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids wants to clear up confusion concerning Calvin Robinson. Mr. Robinson is not a Latin (Roman) Catholic priest. He is not affiliated with the Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids in any manner.

Mr. Robinson was formerly an Anglican priest. The Anglican Church has made a statement about Mr. Robinson on their website. The Anglican tradition has its roots in the Catholic Church but it is not in communion with Rome.

The Diocese of Grand Rapids condemns any language or expression of hate because words and actions rooted in hate violate the dignity of the human person as created in the image and likeness of God.
