DID BISHOP BUDDE'S CASTIGATION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP TO HIS FACE, HELD HOSTAGE AT A LITURGICAL SERVICE AND ON THE FRONT ROW OF THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL (PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL) HELP OR HURT NATIONAL UNITY? IN A WORD, IT HURT!

 

I have never heard of Bishop Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, DC. But she became the darling of social progressives and their social progressive ideologies by confronting their "great enemy" President Donald Trump, who they helped to get elected because of their socialism and ridiculous name calling and hatred of the president, what is truly called "Trump Derangement Syndrome." 

And if that wasn't enough to get President Trump elected, they chose a complete "airhead" to run against him, the "word salad speaking" Vice President Harris. 

You can't make this stuff up. The Democrats got their archenemy elected. They have no one to blame but themselves. 

But back to Bishop Budde.

Apart from an inappropriate setting to castigate the president, where he could not respond directly, and make no mistake, she was speaking to him directly, high aloft in a pulpit to protect her and elevate her words, what she said, in general terms, is Catholic Social Teaching. Pope Francis would well have said the generalities in the same way.

I don't think, though, that Pope Francis would have done so speaking high aloft from that same pulpit looking down on President Trump. I might be wrong, but not even Pope Francis would have done that even though he might agree with Bishop Budde. 

I agree with Bishop Budde on many points that are religious but separated from political ideologies and laws promoted by that ideology. She clearly is anti-Catholic when it comes to sexual morality, abortion, and LGBTQ+++ Ideologies. No Catholic clergy were asked to pray at the service in which she castigated President Trump while other religions were included. So much for inclusivity. 

I have read some commentaries by Episcopalians. They say Bishop Budde and the Anglican Communion have no moral authority to speak to anyone and that there are more clergy prancing around their sanctuaries/church buildings, than laity, as most laity have emptied the pews of the Anglican Communion, especially the super rich, upper class, nose looking down Protestant Episcopal Church USA.
