National Cathedral: Have We No Decency? A Response to President Trump (July 30, 2019)
The National Cathedral website ^ | 7-30-2019 | Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde

Posted on 08/25/2019 11:12:51 PM PDT by ZagFan

The escalation of racialized rhetoric from the President of the United States has evoked responses from all sides of the political spectrum. On one side, African American leaders have led the way in rightfully expressing outrage. On the other, those aligned with the President seek to downplay the racial overtones of his attacks, or remain silent.

As faith leaders who serve at Washington National Cathedral ¬– the sacred space where America gathers at moments of national significance – we feel compelled to ask: After two years of President Trump’s words and actions, when will Americans have enough?

This week, President Trump crossed another threshold. Not only did he insult a leader in the fight for racial justice and equality for all persons; not only did he savage the nations from which immigrants to this country have come; but now he has condemned the residents of an entire American city. Where will he go from here?

Make no mistake about it, words matter. And, Mr. Trump’s words are dangerous.

Thank you for the post. I am not an emotional person, but sometimes I almost weep at the hatred and slander directed at Trump, a flawed person, but nothing at all like the vicious Nazi, racist, and demon the left portrays him as. And, by inference, the left paints all of us the same way - as utterly horrible people.

Thanks to my inheritance when my mother died, I was able last year to give thousands to various charities, while my liberal sister used her money to take expensive vacations all over the world.

I should say that I don't have a clue as to what her's charitable contributions might be, I know she supervises Bingo at a retirement home, but I'll compare my efforts for the poor against her without fear of being shamed.

True. The Episcopal/Anglican Church was founded by the King of England for his own personal purposes.

Anglicans and Episcopalian churches are down with climate change hysteria. Nothing more than a St Vitus’ dance of the 21st century.

I had Steve Hilton’s show on in the background and I noticed the topic headline—something about National Cathedral clergy members calling Trump out. Tomi Lahren, Raymond Arroyo, Sean Duffy and some Bernie lib were discussing it. I looked online for the article and noticed it happened July 30. I thought it was odd they were discussing it tonight. I thought maybe it was a repeat, but they also mentioned it was Steve’s 50th birthday, which is Aug. 25th, so it was current.

(Raymond gave Steve a set of electric hair rollers, which I thought was funny, since Steve is bald.)

The writer should go back to Europe then, and take her kind with her. Our ancestors first came to America to get away from them.

I have no idea what these idiots are talking about.

Obviously, to them the most terrible thing Trump has said is, “The United States will never be a socialists country.”

Unitl the leftist heretics and apostates are permanently removed, the Washington National Cathedral should be treated as having all of religious and moral atmosphere of a whorehouse.

What is divisive, radical and a “religious” sop to the Left’s political agendas is the constant claim of the President’s “radicalized” rhetoric, without a scintilla of evidence that is rhetoric is in fact “radicalized”.

That is the Left’s agenda - to claim a negative without evidence, and rely on the mere repetition of the claim as all the evidence they think the sheeple will need.

A mentally ill homosexual playing dress up and jumping to wild conclusions insulting our president and our country.

She needs to get out of the closet and back into the kitchen.

Geez. Now I must think, every time I see a picture of an older, mannish woman, about whether she is actually transgender. Thanks, you pro-homo, leftist maggots!

(Is that incendiary enough for you, Rev-uh-rund?)

She says that Trump is a big ol’ “racist” meanie when it comes to Baltimurder.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

He may have been pimpin' Trump to some extent with his clean-up, but I'm still glad he did it. I tithe 10% of my income (including company contributions to my benefits) to the Salvation Army, where it goes to their Baltimore center and is then distributed around. I don't have a problem with charitable actions like these.

As far as Baltimurder's government, Maryland, and the Feds go, however, they should just Let. Africa. Sink. (That goes for all races of Baltimoreans, not just the "African" folks.)

I don’t even know where to start.

How about that horrid nonsense of allowing MOSLEM services in this Christian Church? Denying the FACT that Moslems are all about hatred and vicious cruelty to anyone who strays from a thin line.

How about you eliminating Confederate gentlemen from their special chapels, obviously fine with the creators of the very Cathedral but you decide they are worse than any damn Moslems.
