Summary
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopal bishop at the Washington National Cathedral, directly confronted Donald Trump during his inaugural prayer service, urging him to show compassion for marginalized groups.
She criticized his policies on LGBTQ rights, mass deportations, and immigration, calling for mercy toward undocumented immigrants and children fearing family separation.
Trump dismissed the sermon as “not too exciting,” while his supporters condemned Budde’s remarks as inappropriate.
Budde’s bold address marked the first public challenge to Trump’s agenda during his second term.
Jesus was just a weird hippie wandering around telling people to be nicer, until he messed with the rich folks’ money and promptly got nailed to a tree. He probably already has come back and got shot at the border while seeking asylum.
Matthew 25:40 and all that, not that most Christian’s have actually read the book.
I used to be Christian. Reading it again later as an adult, my overall takeaway of the stories was that there was this guy with divine knowledge walking around constantly being disappointed with the state of humanity and a hair up his ass about it. I suppose it wouldn’t be any different today, were the same entity to come back, for some fucking reason.
