The inaugural festivities continued for President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday, with both men finding themselves sitting in the National Cathedral for an "interfaith" prayer service. But while most of the speakers acquitted themselves well, a female Episcopalian "bishop" decided to fulfill the far-left's wildest dreams by directing a woke tangent at the president.

During Mariann Budde's "sermon," she ranted about "transgender children" and asked Trump to have "mercy" on those who are "scared" of his administration, including those who "pick our crops." Here's the final few minutes of what she said.

BUDDE: Let me make one final please, Mr. President. Millions have put their trust in you, and as you told the nation yesterday, 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. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children and Democratic, Independent, and Republican families, some who fear for their lives. 

I won't go too far into the weeds about how far off the rails the Episcopalian Church has gone, but if you've been around the political block, none of this will surprise you. Clips of largely female "clergy" pushing left-wing ideology have become commonplace on the internet. Far from preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they have transformed Christianity into a vessel for their universalist, hedonist politics, with a special emphasis on LGBT issues. 

In short, it's heresy. Figures like Budde have taken the Word of God and cast it aside for a worldly ideology that just so happens to line up directly with their selfish political wants. That's not Christianity. It's idolatry that preserves sin, leading people away from the transformative power of the Gospel.

Budde continued by making the racist and xenophobic generalization that immigrants "pick our crops" and "wash the dishes."

BUDDE: And the people, 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, they, they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, [?], and temples. 

I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will 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. 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 for the good of all people, the good of all people in this nation and the world.

I know left-wingers can't grasp this, but Hispanic people are good for more than doing menial labor jobs that affluent, white female Episcopalian "bishops" don't want to do. Still, the fact that some illegal immigrants perform low-skilled labor does not invalidate a nation's laws, nor does it make it right to break them. God teaches us to be merciful to others in our individual lives. He doesn't teach to blatantly violate the law while doing so. 

With that said, JD Vance wasn't exactly enthralled with the lecture. Watch his facial expressions.

Of course, as expected, Donald Trump was a little more blunt. 

The honesty is refreshing. Budde was not giving a genuine, heartfelt call to prayer for the nation. She was giving a political stump speech, and a bad one at that. I understand the hesitancy to question those who claim to be representatives of their faith and I often share it, but it's okay to speak truthfully about those who are actively manipulating Christianity for their own selfish ends. The Gospel is not about transitioning children or breaking immigration laws. It's about the grace of God saving us from our sin, not pushing us further into it out of some misguided idea of universalist "love."
