I referred to Bishop Budde yesterday, but I failed to explain what she did that deserved our thanks.
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde confronts Trump in sermon
During a prayer service at Washington’s National Cathedral Tuesday, the Episcopal bishop of Washington directly confronted President Trump while he and Vice President J.D. Vance were seated in the front row.
“Let me make one final plea, Mr. President,” Bishop Mariann Budde said in her 15-minute sermon. “Millions have put their trust in you. And as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” said Budde, as she appeared to look towards the president.
Later in the article, we read:
After the service on Tuesday, Republican U.S. Representative Mike Collins from Georgia posted a video clip on X of Budde’s sermon along with the text, “The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.”
Budde is an American citizen who was born here. That kind of rhetoric is very dangerous.
I’m sure Lee would claim to be a Christian, but he certainly doesn’t embody any of the tenets his Bible claims Jesus taught. Yet another Christian who makes me proud to be an atheist.
