President Donald Trump demonstrated more restraint than I would have by not walking out of a sermon that has gone viral for its offensive and disgraceful nature. He is currently wrapping up a packed schedule on his second day as the 47th president of the United States, following an equally busy first day. Part of his responsibilities included attending an inaugural prayer service at the National Cathedral, which was also attended by Vice President J.D. Vance, their families, and various dignitaries.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there was little dignity in the sermon itself. Where to start? Perhaps with Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde&#8217;s presence? This may be an unpopular opinion among modernists, but scripture clearly states that women should not hold certain church positions like bishops or priests (a view that wasn&#8217;t controversial until feminism gained traction in the 20th century). 1 Timothy 2:13-14 states: \u201cFor Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.\u201d This doesn&#8217;t imply women are inferior to men; rather it highlights their distinct roles as created by God.<\/p>\n<p>Budde&#8217;s qualifications are immediately questionable. It only got worse when she began speaking. You can see her remarks below (note the expressions of those present):<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde stated: \u201cThe vast majority of immigrants are not criminals&#8230;may I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She continued with \u201cIn the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon those who are scared now,\u201d but unfortunately did not stop there. She added comments about LGBTQ+ youth from all political backgrounds who fear for their safety\u2014using terms like &#8220;transgender children&#8221; in a house of worship is deeply troubling.<\/p>\n<p>Budde went on to say: \u201cAnd those who pick our crops and clean our office buildings&#8230;may not be citizens or have proper documentation&#8230;but they pay taxes and are good neighbors.\u201d Her statements seem juvenile as she attempts to instill guilt where it doesn\u2019t belong.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion: Trump later commented on Budde\u2019s sermon saying it wasn\u2019t very exciting or good\u2014a significant understatement indeed! If there&#8217;s any silver lining here, it&#8217;s that conservative Christians who truly believe in scripture are highlighting how far removed from traditional values places like the National Cathedral seem to have become.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin Graham remarked that this cathedral has fallen into disarray under LGBT activism\u2014an assertion that&#8217;s hard to dismiss given recent events<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2393416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Trumps-and-Vances-vs.-.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[11529,48960,3634,5558],"class_list":["post-2393415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-bishop","tag-national-prayer-service","tag-trump","tag-woke"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Trumps-and-Vances-vs.-.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2393415"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2393419,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2393415\/revisions\/2393419"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2393416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2393415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2393415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2393415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
