The Anglican deacon and British commentator said, ‘Progressive Christianity is about twisting the truth again. It is all a lie’.

Free Church of England minister and prominent British conservative commentator Deacon Calvin Robinson is slamming progressive Christianity and warning that liberalism is the “greatest” current threat to the western Church.

In an interview with FOX News Digital, Deacon Robinson argued that the term “progressive Christian” is an “oxymoron,” and stated that the liberal, “neo-Marxist” thought that has infected the minds of some leaders and congregants in both the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches is “one of the devil’s tools” being used to destroy Christianity from within.

Robinson, a staunch proponent of Christian orthodoxy who uses his media platform to warn about relativism and liberalism supplanting clear Christian teaching, claimed that Christians who prioritize liberal ideas of inclusivity are “twisting” the truth of Christianity.

Robinson gave his statements amidst complicated times for Christians and Catholics in the West.

In recent months, a contingent of Roman Catholic bishops in Germany have insisted on blessing same-sex unions; Anglican bishops have given serious thought to updating the “Our Father” with gender-neutral pronouns; and Pope Francis has knocked American Catholic conservatives at war with liberal ideologies, claiming they have a “reactionary attitude” and ascribing a character of “backwardness” to them.

American Christians at large have also found themselves confronting an encroaching culture of “anti-racism,” climate change activism, and an assertive LGBTQ agenda.
