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.”
You heard it here first folks. Jesus was of the radical left.
Right wingers have lost their goddamn minds.
Jesus told you that if you saw a guy who needs clothes and you have clothes you aren’t wearing you should give that guy some clothes. This was a strong inspiration for a major philosophy that for some reason many “Christians” hate called Marxism
Every church has the potential to become the a mutual aide community. It’s what Jesus would have wanted
They used to be and some still are.
Unironically, Jesus was radical left in many ways. Many Christians do not like to confront those aspects of the bible.
Let criminals into your home. Give them shelter and food. Give all of your money to charity. If someone harms you, turn the other cheek. Feed the poor before yourself. Brutally whip greedy wealthy people. Those are just some fun examples.
This is a bit of an aside, but the “turn the other cheek” passage from the bible is interpreted in multiple ways. My favorite is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_the_other_cheek
So it’s kind of like a pre-medieval gentlemanly way of saying “let’s take this outside”?
“And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” Acts 2:44-47 ESV
Sounds pretty radically left to me.
Huh, sounds vaguely familiar… Something like, “from each, according to their ability, to which according to their need”?
Except for brutally whipping greedy people, I don’t think any of that is radical at all.
It’s what MLK did so well, and honestly, this is the first step to breaking the GOPs monopoly on religion and the Southern Strategy.
where does Jesus say to feed the poor before yourself?
Nobody wants you to do that, shut up.

Conservatives would probably be first in line to crucify him if they lived back then.
Or if he returned, as their legend portends.
They see Trump as the Second Coming, and wear his symbol on their foreheads, blinding themselves to the truth that he’s the antiChrist.
TBH he really was, but most self-professed Christians don’t understand that.
“Blessed are the aggressive, for they shall inherit the Earth.”
Unmeekness is not necessarily aggressive (Matthew 5:5 is about humility, not docility).
Not necessarily, but it is one antonym.
Sure thing, but if your implicit criticism of this poster holds from a strictly grammatical point of view, it holds less from a theological one.

Attacking traders, saying that you should share your food because you’ll get it back several times over, rebelling against autocratic rulers, solidarity and meeting the poor and marginalised at eye level
Definitely extreme left.
And does anyone remember the time when his affinity group resisted Jesus’ imprisonment by the security authorities by cutting off one of the officers’ ears? I have my doubts that it happened that way because the guy was seen with both ears several times afterwards, but the
policelegionnaires would never invent details to make the leftists look worse.This shows that the movement surrounding the carpenter “Jesus” is obviously ready for violence. Also, numerous talks by followers of this group about a “Kingdom of God” (we suspect this is dog whispering for “dictatorship of the proletariat” as some leftists say they are “their own god”). In addition, influential members of this movement openly spoke of overthrowing the existing order. Although these plans were thwarted by “Jesus”, his tolerance towards potential ideological perpetrators of violence suggests that he does not rule out a violent overthrow.
The group should be categorised as left-wing extremist and left-wing terrorist and should be smashed immediately.
