It still looks like a church… from the outside.
As did many presidents before him, after taking the oath of office, President Donald Trump attended what was supposed to be a religious service at the National Cathedral.
But instead–and who’s surprised?–um, “Bishop” Mariann Edgar Budde turned the National Prayer Service into a Democrat political rally (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/trump-responds-inappropriate-far-left-so-called-bishop/), suggesting that LGBTQ+ wackos are apt to be murdered by normal people–all of lthem “people in our country who… fear for their lives.” And pleaded for “mercy” for peaceful, law-abiding illegal immigrants who apparently never commit crimes.
The president was not amused.
Well, the Episcopal Church in America is on the Far Left side of every social or political issue, and everybody knows it. President Trump slipped up, not anticipating what would happen if he visited the National Cathedral. He probably expected a church to behave like a church.
Time to try another church. This one’s outlived its mission.
I appreciate that Trump called it out for what it was. In the final analysis, the church harmed itself and lost status in the eyes of many.
I also liked the fact that Trump called the so-called sermon “boring.” That was probably the worst insult possible for a lefty who obviously thinks herself a brilliant and eloquent speaker.
I noticed that. The man has a way with words; specifically, he speaks his mind, and isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said.
So true, Lee!!! The Apostle Paul warned in one of his letters that the Christian church was not to let women be preachers and pastors (and bishops!!!) in the church body. This is a tragic example of why this woman and the example she shows is a heresy in the Episcopal Church here in America.
I have know a few clergywomen for whom I had great respect. But the overall record is no better than what Paul would have expected.
It is more accurate to call it the Globalist Cathedral since they preach the religion of the United Nations which is pure Humanism. Trump was following tradition – I’m sure he must have attended the service in 2017 which may have been more orthodox.
