Summary
Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde refused to apologize after delivering a sermon at the National Cathedral that criticized Trump’s anti-LGBTQ+ and immigration policies, calling for compassion and mercy for marginalized groups.
Trump responded by attacking Budde on Truth Social, labeling her a “Radical Left hard line Trump hater.”
Budde, known for prior criticism of Trump, said she stands by her message and has received both support and threats.
She emphasized the need for dignity and respect in public discourse to counter the “culture of contempt.”
I wonder why there’s always threats when someone asks people to have mercy and empathy. Are some people really that soft that they can’t hear opposing viewpoints?
The best part is that it’s basically what Jesus did. “Be kind to each other, have mercy”. The romans nailed him to a cross.
Yet if you deplatform these nazis, they say exactly that.
