"Because my party's been so allergic to religious language, we've forgotten that people need to be made aware of their choice," Buttigieg told CNN.
"I've got to speak up, if only to point out the hypocrisies of those now in power," he added. "Time will tell whether that's smart politically or not."
Thus far, it seems to be working. Progressives, particularly LGBT Christians, have cheerfully circulated his critiques of the religious right and lauded the gay Christian's candidacy as a watershed moment for a community long shunted to the margins of church life.
The son of a former Jesuit, he credits Catholicism with awakening his moral conscience, but the baptized Catholic says he did not consider participating in the church as an adult because he is gay. He can be reticent about the details of his faith but has made morality a centerpiece of his campaign for president.
The teenager experienced a moral awakening in government class, Buttigieg writes, while watching a film about St. Oscar Romero, an archbishop from El Salvador who was assassinated by right-wing militants while celebrating Mass. The school's monument to aborted fetuses provided another reminder of the intersection of religion and politics, he writes.
Patrick McCurry, who taught Buttigieg in a class on morality, remembers him as a brilliant and grounded young man with a keen interest in philosophy and theology.
In June 2018, Buttigieg and his husband Chasten Glezman were married in St. James. The readings included including a passage from the Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage and an excerpt from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.
In the excerpt, Jesus urges his followers not to "hide their lamps beneath a bushel," but to be the salt of the earth and light of the world.

Perfect meme.
I read he chauffeured a Col. or Gen. overseas.
1. God/Christ stated clearly in the Bible choosing the vile lifestyle of homosexuality is so evil that it’s an obamanation.
2. Did ya ever hear what happened to Sodom & Gomorrah?
3. The koran is satan’s book of evil (hint: allah=satan)
4. Your attempt to merge God/Christ with the evil one (satan) to defend the immoral, vulgar & depraved homosexual lifestyle is duly noted...and exposes you and your evil.
You are one sick puppy...now crawl back under your rock.
We’ll know that Buttgeek has actually found God when he gives up his fascination with sodomy.
Thanks. I hope they get spread around. I’m sick of their constant lies (all of the MSM).
He’s a non starter...
I thought he was setting the stage to run in 2024, but the more and more pandering he is doing to the radical left, the more he seems to be shooting himself in the foot.
He’s not ready for prime time, not even close.

Well, maybe I am a sick puppy.
Maybe you are, as well. It’s hard to say. Maybe we’re all sick puppies, and that’s why we live on this earth.
(Like we’re all sinners)
Have you thought of that?
What makes you better than me? What makes your opinions better than mine?
You’ve probably cheated on your wife. Now you feel guilty and want to take it out on me. You want to justify your actions.
My God, you’re sick, demented and a classic psychopath.
To accuse me of cheating on my wife without knowing me is pure godless propaganda - right out of Alinsky.
My wife, was literally the girl-next-door who lost a battle to breast cancer at 28.
YOU should be ashamed.
Now crawl back under your rock...or better yet, go back to hell and be with your mentor, allah (aka “satan”).
STOP STALKING ME, YOU SICKO!!!!
My mentor is NOT Satan.
And I’m VERY sorry to hear about your wife. Hugs across the internet. She was too young to die. (Chemotherapy?)
This is very hard. If you need me, please PM me. I will be there for you. I promise.
May God bless you and yours.
Judgmental and intolerant, I'm guessing.
STOP STALKING ME!
You are a sick, godless, psychotic homo pervert that uses taqiyya to make false allegations.
Now crawl back to hell and rejoin allah/satan.
