A Church of England vicar being
investigated by senior clerics after complaints by parishioners that he used
‘abhorrent’ language and posted the Facebook comment such as:
- Canon Dr Paul Shackerley of Doncaster Minster investigated by top clerics
- Accused of swearing on Facebook and moaning about going to church
- Joined group ‘I want to get
back with my ex…!’…LOL jk…I’d rather s*** in my hands and clap!’
- Another post:‘I’ve done f*** all today other than jazz lesson and visit a
friend. I hear the fizz of tonic in my gin beckoning’
- Also: ‘Alas, I have religion tomorrow. At least I’m not preaching this
week’
- Posted picture of him building snowman with
comment:‘Forgive my sin of frivolity. Sin is such fun!’
Dr Shackerley, who as priest-in-charge at
Doncaster Minster, is one of Yorkshire’s most high-profile vicars, posted the
comments earlier this year, apparently concern among parishoners….. Tell me biko why it wont spark concern. If person wey u dey confess sin give behave like this, what are you supposed to do eeh??
