"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.

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 debunked claims about attending Columbia and Harvard.
He says a lot of idiotic things, especially on race
He’s a supreme ass Kisser. Figuratively and literally.
God does not agree with him.
He found Satan, he didn’t find God.
Pete Buttgagger’s god has been around for a long time. His name is Priapus. Look him up. Or don’t—he’s quite vile.
We live in a society where
Homosexuals lecture us on morals,
Transsexuals lecture us on human biology,
Baby killers lecture us on the death penalty,
Tyrants lecture us on human rights,
Satanists lecture us on religion, and
Socialists lecture us on economics
What say you? Too much?
This is Brilliant! Make a meme for it and send me a link!
It’s finally good to kmow that after 1000’s of years of tradition established by God, 1 asshole in a black robe decides that the SCOTUS has the legal authority to decide God was all wrong and faggots have a right to become man and sodomite! No place to run or hide on reckoning day!
PETE BELIEVES GOD IS HOMOSEXUAL.
If Pete Buttigieg had found God, he would not still be playing with sex in a perverse way. He would be following what the Lord intended sex for and not playing around with something intended for procreation. He would not be trying to convince everyone that he is compelled to be functioning the way he is. He is simply a phoney, and he wants to lead the country? Ha!
LIES. He is a practicing homosexual, and so he has denied the Lord that bought him. Butt-gig is no brother of mine.
It is plain as day common sense homosexuality is abnormal. If it were normal, human beings would have ended as a race after one generation. We need to call them out for what they are: abnormal sexual deviants!!
As a non-religious conservative (and yes, I believe in GOD) if Mayor Pete is religious, I can’t judge. Jesus and his father -The Holy Father- will judge each of us. When we visit God, that is when we can get our answer about it.
Buttplugs hasn’t found God. He found the false god.
You forgot to first post a King Kong Godzilla Size Barf Alert!
Rules, remember the rules.
That’s pretty funny! But true!
How do you know?
Because the Bible/Koran/Torah says it.
How do you know the Bible/Koran/Torah is telling you the complete truth?
Because I believe it.
Why do you believe it in its entirety?
Because the Bible/Koran/Torah says so.
Well then, how can you be sure that it’s true?
Because the Bible/Koran/Torah says so.
So how do you know that climate change is real?
Because the television says so.
Well then, how do you know that the television is telling the truth?
Because I saw it on TV.
So how do you know the TV is telling the truth?
Because scientists say so.
Well then, why do you believe the unnamed scientists?
Because the TV said so.
So why so you believe the scientists/TV?
Because my teacher said so.
So why do you believe your teacher?
Because I saw it on TV.
Pete Buttplug is a lightweight, even by medium-sized-city mayor standards.
Pete’s father (Professor Joseph) was a Jesuit and/or ex-Jesuit? As far as I have read, he was a “red” fan of Italian Communist theoretician Antonio Gramsci, one of the key communist strategists the Left follows today in America.
Somebody help me out with more details.
And as for Peter finding “god”, it probably happened when he bent over and yelled “Oh God that was good”. /sarc
The hypocrisy is strong in this clown.
Excellent synopsis of that stupid sinner. Buttplug’s going to lecture us on morals?
