But, I'm truly amazed that a Catholic priest would embrace right-wing politics. Apparently this priest doesn't follow the words of Jesus.
And invoking the BS phrase, "cancel culture" identifies him as being totally out of touch with reality.
Right-wing conservatives have been chest deep in the philosophy of "cancel culture" for many decades. In fact, I don't remember a time when they didn't expound that idea...always trying to judge and reject anyone or anything they didn't like.

The Bishop needs to give this guy the heave ho.
