Jaws dropped throughout Washington’s National Cathedral when an egomaniacal female Episcopal bishop sabotaged the Inaugural Prayer Service with a left-wing rant from the pulpit about illegal migrants and LGBT issues, aimed directly at President Trump, who was sitting politely in the front pew.
What the Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, 65, was supposed to do Tuesday, at the historical interfaith service, was to bless the incoming administration and pray for God’s guidance and protection for the nation.
She should have been fostering unity, not exacerbating false divides and making the ceremony all about her.
Addressing the new president, Budde asked for his “mercy” for illegal migrants and “transgender children” who “are scared now” that he is in office.
“There are gay, lesbian and transgender children … who fear for their lives,” she intoned in a saccharine parody of a Christian sermon.
