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 sparking concern among parishioners.

The comments are ‘liked’ by eight of Dr Shackerley's Facebook friends, including Doncaster Minster's director of mu-sic, Darren Williams, and prompt more foul language in response from a separate contributor.
Who in God's name is this man?
