That's hilarious. I'm very Grant Morrison resistant, but willing to give it a chance. Morrison likes to show off how oh-so-brilliant he is, and I'm really not impressed with his bag of tricks.
Pariah, also not a Morrison fan, has multiple times parodied Morrisson's writing style perfectly. What Morrison does, on the surface, looks imaginative, but it really is very easy to do. Just ask Mark Millar, who has made a career of imitating Morrison's style.
Not my thing from the large slice of Morrison titles I've sampled, but clearly there's an audience for that. Maybe Morrison pulls it off better in this series.

I looked these issues up, in DOOM PATROL (2nd series) issues 19-22. Although it appears to have story threads that continue into later issues after.

EDIT: Issues 19-22 don't mention this storyline, a completely separate story. The "Red Jack/Jack the Ripper" character appears in issues 23-24, and only really begins on page 19 of issue 23. And yeah, as you say, it reads so that it was very possibly not the actual Jack the Ripper (or God), just some megalomaniacal nut on a power trip pretending to be. And I frankly didn't like it. I kept reading on a few more issues after, to see if the storyline continued, but that was it. Really annoying dialogue, and a lot of dialogue that doesn't even make any sense, just made-up gibberish by Morrison. And very cynical, and pointlessly sadistic.
Possibly Capt. Sweden read this storyline in a collected trade or foreign reprint edition, where all these issues were merged together. But it's only in (barely) these last two issues, 23 and 24.
