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."

Who threatens a bishop because they have a sermon one man didn’t like?

You heard it here first folks. Jesus was of the radical left.

Right wingers have lost their goddamn minds.

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 ~~police~~ legionnaires 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.

Conservatives would probably be first in line to crucify him if they lived back then.

Or if he returned, as their legend portends.

TBH he really was, but most self-professed Christians don't understand that.

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.

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.

We should build a statue of her and call it "Budde Bishop"

I'm still laughing about 'radical left bishop', that's such a paradox I can't get over it. Utterly deranged rambling.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I don't know for America, but here in Europe pastors from non-evangelical Protestant churches are generally more leftist than most citizens and parishioners.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh I know some of them have pretty progressive or even leftist views, my hometown pastor was a very liberal, gay man, politically active in social democratic and lgbtq groups and a long time family friend, although we're atheists. And he wouldn't brand himself a radical leftist by far.

I'm European myself and radical left still means something different here. I mean for a lot of Americans anything in the slightest social or liberal automatically is radical leftist communism.

MAGA has consistently branded the left as "radical," to the point that they never plainly say "left" anymore. Always radical. You know, the party whose platform aligns with compassion and humanity more often than not. Radical. They've gaslit their constituents into believing that anything from the opposing party is unreasonable.

The radical left wants people to have access to healthcare. The radical left wants people to not be discriminated against for race, gender, sexual preference, etc. The radical left wants people to be treated like people and not sideshow freaks. The radical left wants an educated populace. The radical left wants to prevent people who are obviously dangerous from owning firearms. The radical left doesn't want to put razor wire in the rivers on the border. The radical left doesn't want me to store state nuclear secrets in the bathroom at my Florida clubhouse where I frequently entertain high-profile guests from adversarial nations. The radical left wants to lock up those who participated in a violent breach of our capitol and threatened the lives of Congress and our vice president and killed a police officer. The radical left wants breathable air, drinkable water, and clean energy. The radical left wants unions to negotiate fair working conditions and compensation. The radical left wants consumer protections.

These are all radical, dangerous ideas. In contrast:

The radical right wants women to be baby factories. The radical right wants dangerous people to own firearms. The radical right wants to limit access to education. The radical right wants to silence the free press. The radical right wants the police to kill with impunity. The radical right wants corporations to be free to poison our skies and waterways. The radical right wants to destroy our foothold in the growing clean energy sector. The radical right wants mega corporations to be free to fuck consumers sideways. The radical right wants to dissolve unions (except the police unions, those can stay).

See the difference?

Fascists don't worry about making sense. Violence is always available to them, and that's all they want you to know.

There is nothing to apologize for. She spoke truth, and nothing else.

Edit: corrected gender - just had "the priest" in my mind, which is in german "Der Priester", which is the male form -.-
