Lost on you guys is the history and traditional decorum of the inaugural prayer service going back to 1933. Despite how fervently you believe in the bishops message, that venue is simply not the time or place to advocate for a either side of divisive political issue.
Let's turn it around. Lets say Harris won and at her inaugural prayer service, a catholic priest delivers a sermon rooted in the horrors of abortion. What would you have to say about that? I say neither one is appropriate. But you?
Given that Jesus never said a word about abortion, I’d criticize him on that point.
Given also that Rev. Budde’s words were grounded solidly in the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the gospels, and given that Rev. Budde delivered her words respectfully, even gently, I’d say that her sermon represents the highest form of prophetic preaching. I only wish my preaching could measure up to hers.
