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.”
Yeah, I’d say that’s true in the US as well. But I wouldn’t characterize most of them as radical, except maybe one or two branches of the Quakers. Those people I respect. They walk the walk. I’ve known many (the next town to where I grew up had a big Quaker population) and I’ve seen a lot of them at demonstrations, food banks and various direct actions.
