MessageIs your uncle a schmuck? I don't know.
You used the word priest, which makes me think of the Catholic Church. So conditionally, if you uncle is a priest in the Catholic Church and you accurately represented his views and message, I guess he would be a schmuck.
And respect is not something freely given. Respect is an initial courtesy and then something earned. If someone is not worthy of respect, then there is no reason to give them respect.
Be a wolf or be a sheep, but don't ask that I treat a sheep like a wolf just because they have a title or costume.
If your uncle has his own personal religion, that's fine. But it's not fine to use the title of X and then preaches Y. That's a schmuck.
