The Terrible Mercy of Bishop Budde

Fay Voshell

"Not a syllable passed Bishop Budde’s lips condemning the Biden government for enabling the sex-trafficking of children.  Nor have the mainstream media that condemned the Catholic Church paid much attention to the horrors innocents endure." 

Broc Smith

"For decades, the mainstream media and Hollywood justifiably have called out the Catholic Church for scandals involving the sexual exploitation of children by members of the church’s hierarchy.  For example, the 2015 film Spotlight dramatized the Boston Globe’s exposure of the Boston Catholic archdiocese’s massive cover-up of child molestation.  The film won two Oscars.

"Pope Francis officially apologized and asked forgiveness for similar cases in Europe.  The pontiff made it clear that Catholic doctrine and practice have never supported the abuse of children.

"But for the Episcopal church’s progressive leadership, as Bishop Mariann Budde most recently revealed during the prayer service attended by President Trump and other members of his administration, a new revelation is at hand.  The teachings and commandments of the Christ who forbids harm to little children — the Christ this denomination still professes to be the Creator of the universe and all that is within it, including all of humanity — have been revoked.  

"No longer is the Christian teaching commanding protection of innocents the truth whose applicability to this often abusive world is eternally and comprehensively relevant.  Instead, the Word is an ever-unfolding synthesis of truth that now unapologetically embraces the dark ideology of a sex cult, christening it with God-words:

The Episcopal Church embraces a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church.

Bishop Budde’s haranguing of President Trump was not speaking “truth to power” but preaching heresy and misinformation.  spectator.org

"Ironically, what this means is that Jesus himself could not preach at National Cathedral, nor any of the apostles. So much for “unity.” So much for Jesus."
