Who Forgot To Vet The Harpie In The Clerical Collar At The National Cathedral?
After a nearly flawless transition and inspirational inauguration, Donald Trump’s team committed its first own goal.
On Tuesday, someone on the staff agreed that the president, the vice president and their families should attend a morning prayer service at Washington’s National Cathedral.
Some of us realized that the cathedral was not a Christian church several weeks ago when Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood warbled their way through that godless anthem to anarchy, “Imagine,” at Jimmy Carter’s funeral.
How did clerics manage to sit there, expressionless, while the third-rate singers imagined a world with no religion? And with the corpse of a supposed Christina man at the altar, they imagined a world with no heaven.
Geezus.
That was a sign.
A sign that someone on the Trump team did not see. So they sent our new president and veep into front row pews where a - hmmm, how shall I put this - a boyish episcopal “bishop” name Mariann Edgar Budde hijacked the service to vomit out a lot of nonsense about LGBTQ rights and illegal aliens. (She’s another leftie who subscribes to the “if we free the slaves who’ll pick the cotton” school of illegal immigration.)
If I had been there it would have taken enormous restraint not to noisily tip over my chair and storm out. But the Trumps and the Vances have more class than I. They sat there, staring stonily at the harpie in the clerical collar and left as soon as the service was over.
Let’s hope Trump demanded to meet with the person who set up the service and said just two words: You’re fired!
“Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. She is not very good at her job!” Trump said. “She and her church owe the public an apology!”
Referencing Trump’s belief that he was saved by God from assassination, Budde said, “You have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.”
She also yapped about “trans kids” oblivious to the fact that there is no such thing. There are only confused children, children with mental problems and eager, virtue-signaling parents who wear “queer” offspring as accessories and Mengele-level medical professionals who delight in maiming children.
What would Jesus say about those ghouls, I wonder?
Theologians can debate whether when scripture tells us to be kind to strangers that it means no country should have borders. Frankly, I doubt it. The kindest thing our country could do is tell would-be immigrants to apply to come in and wait their turn. Don’t risk life and limb and human trafficking to break into a another country.
After he returned to the White House, Trump said, “I didn’t think it was a good service” and “they could do much better.” But later, in an overnight post on his social media site, he sharply criticized the “so-called Bishop” as a “Radical Left hard line Trump hater,” reports the AP.
“She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart,” said Trump, a Republican, adding that Budde didn’t mention that some migrants have come to the United States and killed people.”
It seems the tradition of a prayer service at the national cathedral - once a breathtakingly beautiful Christian church - dates back to FDR in 1933.
I have no doubt this bishop or one of her progressive clergy gave Biden a juicy tongue bath in 2021.
Time to kill this tradition.
Next time, hold the service in one of scores of actual churches in Washington or better yet, the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at Catholic University.
And invite a sane member of the clergy to pray for the new administration and our country.
