A Catholic priest who admitted discussing bombing mosques and shooting Black people in the head in neo-Nazi online chatrooms has been sentenced to a 12-month community order.

Father Mark Rowles, 57, used the name “skinheadlad1488” in a chatroom called Aryan Reich Killers where grotesquely offensive messages about Muslims were written.

On Thursday, Rowles, of St John Lloyd Catholic Church in Cardiff, admitted three counts of sending menacing or offensive messages using the Telegram app in May and June 2024. He will complete 150 hours of community service, pay £199 in costs, and be subject to a Criminal Behaviour Order for three years. The Catholic Church in Wales will conduct its own review.

The court was told he described himself in an online profile as a 16-year-old skinhead neo-Nazi and a loner. His profile picture showed a young white man with a face covering, alongside a German flag and the words “right hand path always.”

With so much projection from the right, it makes a certain amount of sense that they are jealous of the people they hate. They are mad at their frail, pale, weak little white bodies and want to be part of the proven excellence of diversity.

Scared, weak white people. So weak. So scared.
