"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.

If Pete ever found Him, I suspect he lost Him. Of course God is the only one who can speak to that with authority.
Pete does not seem to be spreading the message of God, so much as the message of the anti-God, and his fellow worshipers at the alter of paganism.
I wish these folks would just go and silently live outside the closet like they said they wanted more than anything else.
Hillary lectures us on Russian Collusion
Bill Clinton lectures us on Women’s Rights
His god is a penis.
So he has found God, his next step is to discover sin!
Not only that but all heterosexual sexual acts outside of marriage are mortally sinful as well!
LOLOL!!!!
Meanwhile, God says, “Pete who?”
Jas_2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Scary!
Who on this forum believes that Pete Buttigieg has “found” God?
He may think so, but he is fooling no one but himself and his fellow homosexuals!
Buttigieg has not found God!
He’s FAKING it!
He is a LIEberal, and LIEberals LIE!
Full disclosure: I firmly believe that a person cannot be a Christian and also homosexual!
God created each of us male and female, each for the other, for a reason.

Butt gig looked into a mirror...
The USA wants its President to be the leader in his private as well as his public life. We're supposed to be ready for a gay man, but at present we're only ready for a boss gay man.
I have trouble with his name, pronouncing it "Butt-gag."
I don’t believe for a second that he really served in the military. The pictures of him “in uniform” are obvious, poorly done photoshops. Has anyone come forward who remembers “serving” with him? This sounds a lot like Obama’s deb7mked claims about attending Columbia and Harvard.
there’s no such thing as a gay Christian. God will reveal the truth to and about this guy and he’ll either completely repent or he’ll reject God’s truth and die in the eternal fire
