For the past two weeks, adulation over Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde’s scolding of President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance has become all the rage for liberal church leaders across the United States and, indeed, around the world.
How should conservative Christians respond? Here’s a short list of questions we might ask of these leaders who apparently fancy themselves our spiritual betters.
Do you think it’s “vitriolic” to have compassion for the 300,000 children who have been trafficked by cartels into America’s heartland and are now missing?
Do you think it is “spiteful” to care about the quarter-million people who have been killed by fentanyl?
Don’t you think we should have “deep concern” for the tens of thousands of women who have been forced into prostitution?
Here’s just a sampling of what the “Church of Never Trump” has had to say.
Bishop Mark Seitz, chairman of the U.S. Conference of the Catholic Bishops Committee on Migration, added that Mr. Trump’s intention to keep his oath of office and preserve and protect our nation’s borders goes against the “fundamental right of every human person to be respected.”
Pope Francis added to the public flogging by calling the Trump administration’s actions a “disgrace.”
Social media pundits, too numerous to count, piled on. One named “Allan” had this to say about any conservative opposition to Bishop Budde’s homily: “MAGA ‘Christians’ were exposed to the actual words and teachings of Jesus, of compassion, love, and mercy, and find the only way they can respond is with vitriol and spite.”

Ping
She got huge amounts of money from FedGov.
My response is her complaints are conflict of interest.
Sorry I couldn’t read all that crap
Who really believes it?
No parent or loved raped murdered or drugged with fentanyl
Please let America wake up
Bishop Budde and Pope Francis are exhibit 1 and 2 for the reason that Catholics and Episcopalians have left their churches.
I, no longer support either. Those “leaders” are evil. Do not follow evil.
Obviously.
There is no such thing as a female bishop
Seitz should recuse himself. It’s his job to haul foreign garbage and sewage into America.
Why is this fake female “bishop” and her bogus publicity stunt at the post-inaugural interfaith prayer service still making the news?
It really should have faded from the headlines by now!
So, Pope Frances is going to let me take up resedemce in Vatican City?
If my wife gives birth there is my child going to get Vatican citizenship?
Don’t be a hypocrite Francis
Why? Think 3D chess
Trump knew she was a bad apple and it was a set up. Think about it..
Bet she goes to jail soon.
There’s no way trump after multiple assassins tried to kill him would walk unprepared into that congregation.
A stunt to cement her Liberal Views that she has convinced herself is “God’s Will” and the right way to go. America should take in all whom the Cartels sneak across the border, fed and house them, accept their crimes as caused by racism and the problems of society and vicious cops who enforce racist laws. Not only that we should feed every hungry mouth on planet Earth. It is God’s will we should starve so that tribesmen in far away lands can eat and have dozens of children.
Liberals/Progressives can not be Christians. Go to your LGBT churches with Lesbian Bishops all you want to, it won’t save your soul.
Jesus said:
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
