Horrifying Republican response to Bishop's sermon

These are tweets from Matt Walsh on X about Bishop Marian Budde and her sermon earlier today in Washington, attacking her womanhood and ability in a sexist and ageist tirade. It seems the clarion call has gone out to the rest of the Trump X minions, as they are all tweeting the same sentiments - including Kellie-Jay Keen and Donald Trump Jnr. Rep. Mike Collins całłed for her deportation, although she is American. Do you still support Trump after this?

“A liberal woman over the age of 50 with a lesbian haircut is guaranteed to support the most evil ideas and policies that mankind has ever conceived.”

“Just take one look at this witch and you know everything you need to know about her, even before she starts talking.”

“Of course this grotesque display is coming from a female “priest.” You will only ever hear heresy and inanity from someone whose whole existence is blasphemous.”

And another tweet from Bo Loudon: “🚨BREAKING: A bishop at the National Cathedrol just urged President Trump to protect transgender children and not deport illegal aliens because "they're not criminals."

Pure class from President Trump as he sat through this despicable politicization of the prayer service.”

Speech text:
““In the Name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” Budde stated. “There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families. Some who fear for their lives.

”The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens, or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.”

Budde asked Trump “to have mercy” on people “in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away and that you help those who are fleeing warzones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here.

“Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land,” she continued. “May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love, and walk humbly with each other and our God.”

Earlier in her message, Budde stressed the importance of unity, of respectfully disagreeing with one another, but also expressed concern over what she called “the culture of contempt” and feared “the loss of equality” for some who lose in political debates.

What a horrible, divisive message this is! 🙄 Personally, I think Budde's message is courageous and beautiful, and clearly deeply Christian at its core.

BTW - 'the vast majority of voters' did not prefer Trump.

The majority of voters - more than 50% - either voted for Harris or didn't vote.

You seem to like using numbers, but ignore it when they demonstrate things you don’t like.

I pointed out how your 0.3% negatively affects millions of women and asked how many women will it take before you think it’s a problem. Do you have an answer?

If they are residents but not citizens then they are not stateless though. Won't they be legally holding a nationality other than being a person with the birth right citizenship of the USA? So, not stateless?

It would depend on the parents situation . My point was that Trump is trying to undo constitutional law . He will not be able to do that . He is not a dictator . He at the moment is temporarily blocked by a judge .

Very brave I thought.
I've been wondering recently what I would actually have the guts to do if I found myself living in a world I felt strongly was going the wrong way and where dissent was squashed quickly and aggressively. (Off the back of reading a book set in pre-war Germany.)
And maybe this is the only thing people could do in that situation. Speaking up publicly for what you believe and doing it early. Well done her.

Slight problem with your analogy in that the priest in this case is not standing up for the down trodden predominantly female victims of gender ideology or those children who have had their bodies harmed by dangerous medications and/or mutilating surgeries before they're even old enough to understand what they are loosing.
Instead, you're cheering on those who promote and actively perpetuate Mengele type of experimentation on children and babies both pre and post birth (testosterone for pregnant women regardless of the harm to their unborn babies as wanting a healthy baby is evil cis hetro normative colonialism and male chest excretions instead of their mothers milk or formula).
You are not on the side of the angels here. You need to look at the way women who have spoken out about this have been treated both in the US and the UK, we've been threatened, assaulted, verbally abused, stalked, harassed, fired and persecuted by the police and justice system with not only the tassit approval but the active approval of certain elected members of both the Westminster and Scottish government's.

@Hoardasurass

Are you saying that transgender people are morally culpable for all the ills you perceive arising from them being transgender/choosing to medically and/or socially live as a gender different to that of their sex, and therefore none of them are deserving of any compassion or mercy?

Catullus5 · 23/01/2025 22:24

I have just listened to that sermon. It's a completely theologically correct and orthodox sermon about the need for respect in civil discourse with appropriate reference to the teachings of Christ and the fundamentals of Christianity. During this twenty minute sermon trans people are mentioned precisely once.

Trump says the sermon was "nasty". I say anyone who objects to this sermon is, like Trump, nasty.

That wasn't the whole speech was it...

'They may not be citizens, or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.”

You missed out the next line which was 'they pay taxes'.

They won't pay taxes will they? What with being undocumented and all. That's the point.

Undocumented immigrants usually do pay taxes in the USA

No I'm saying that those who promote gender ideology whether they are TRAs, teachers, drs, politicians or useful idiots like the priest in question are responsible for all the ills I described and no these people deserve no compassion or mercy.
Those who have been harmed by this ideology deserve our compassion but that doesn't include affirming their delusions or pandering to their demands.
That was a very nice try to completely twist my words though @izimbra 10/10 for effort

They have my full compassion and mercy right up until the point that, if they are transwomen, they insist on accessing women's spaces, sports, quotas, hospital wards, prisons, DV shelters, rape crisis shelters, lesbian groups and screwing up science and data. No compassion or mercy however for the activists egging them on, the progressives turning a blind eye, the fetishists and predators taking advantage or anyone involved in suggesting to children that they may be in the wrong body.

Exactly. He is not a dictator and the USA's legendary checks and balances of power are doing their job to protect your Constitution. So why the fearmongering?

There is nothing theologically orthodox about describing a child as "trans". This bishop would do well to remember Matthew 19:4.

Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

Is the bishop saying that God makes mistakes?

WandaSiri · 23/01/2025 23:15

Just by the by, the trans population is not 0.3% or any particular percentage.
It could be anything up to 50% of the population because any male can declare himself trans, and he is.

The priest asked for 'mercy' and 'compassion' for transgender people who are scared about their future.

Literally that's all she said.

Apparently by doing this she's responsible for all the ills you describe.

Quoting just her words from the sermon - could you explain exactly how you've come to this conclusion?

Well for one he has signed a document getting rid of all the diversity laws that guarantee that you can not be discriminated against . That affects a huge population . He has done away with reductions for affordable medicine and healthcare . Every day something different and he will not stop until he has laws in place that will enrich himself , his family and his billionaire buddies . He is a dangerous man and that is not fearmongering it is the truth !

"Those who have been harmed by this ideology deserve our compassion but that doesn't include affirming their delusions or pandering to their demands."

Can I ask about your personal - real life (ie, not on social media) relationships with transgender individuals? You obviously feel very strongly about their feelings and beliefs about themselves. You sound angry that they don't feel the way about themselves that you insist they SHOULD feel. Has someone from the trans community hurt you personally? Or hurt a member of your family? Have you worked alongside a transgender person? Had any transgender friends or neighbours? Have you ever met and had a conversation with a trangender person? I'm wondering where you absolute conviction comes from that you are right about how they should feel about themselves?

How many women will it take before you think it’s an issue @izimbra ? You seem keen to avoid this.

Humour me - do you think transgender people who are frightened of the future under Trump should be treated with mercy and compassion or not?

Also - I'm a bit puzzled that the response to 'do you think transgender people are morally culpable for all the ills that you believe have arisen from gender ideology' I got 'you're cheering on those who promote and actively perpetuate Mengele type of experimentation' - and I'm struggling to see how that's an answer to the question I asked.

Do you want to quote where I 'cheered on' the torture of children?

izimbra · 23/01/2025 23:42

Oh - is this like those situations where people who are against undocumented immigrants point to someone raped by an illegal immigrant as evidence that immigration is morally indefensible, and that anyone who speaks up for asylum seekers is a rape apologist?

Hmmm...think you might be muddling a couple of posts there.

Anyone who is frightened should be shown compassion, but compassion doesn't always mean giving people what they want and it doesn't mean ignoring other groups of people that are also frightened

Now how about you humour me and give me a reasoned argument explaining how redefining the sex-class of women to allow in any male who identifies as a woman is a feminist win. Or maybe you don't believe this?

You are right. He is not a dictator which would make the situation even worse.

However, it seems he is not making people ‘stateless.’ It is important to cut through the many accusations against Trump to work out what is accurate and what is not.
