“Bishop Marianne Budde may not have been the hero we were waiting for, but she reminded us what one might look like — and the effect she might have.”
This is a late comment and maybe repeats others, but IMO we generally have a warped notion of what a hero should look like. Remember that Jesus got a lot of people up in arms because He didn’t look like the messiah everyone expected. Bishop Budde IS a hero. Full stop.
Christians wonder why the church is dying, and it’s the hypocrisy. And the more the hypocrisy gets pointed out, the more dug into their hypocrisy they become, further justifying the increasing exodus.
Well said! We need more people, maybe some journalists, acting as the Bishop did. Maybe someone could ask Trump why he was so harsh to her. Maybe ask him if he sees a reflection when he passes a mirror Maybe ask him if he ever does what Jesus would do.
We all need to do our best to be heroes. The fundamental characteristic of a hero has to be courage, followed by the need to tell the truth. Heroes are nothing without truth. Which separates us from the MAGAs, who seem to adore performance and fakery.
Hey, when's Auggie's birthday? Eli is such a love. Is there a little Great Dane in him (the eyes)?

Happy birthday Eli! Hope you got extra treats!
Happy birthday to your beautiful puppy- And thank you from the bottom of my heart for continuing to speak with such eloquence
and outrage-
Thanks for the video, that is one of my all-time favorite songs...
I continue to hope/believe that hero is going to show up, someone not afraid of the fight with charisma , and good intentions.

Excited to see you have a podcast!!

For heaven’s sake, people have been warned by the very best amongst us! Former Judge Michael J Luttig, conservative Republican.
Beautiful pups Charlie!
As far as who will step up?
The American people have to by voting for a sane and competent leader. Let’s hope we get a second chance to do just that ! 🤞
I have had “I Need a Hero” in my head for 24 hours now. And it’s been helping.
I also note that the Pope is not sending Trump friendly reps . . .
Happy Birthday, Eli❤️🐕
The hero isn’t going to come from the weak Dems. Unless AOC is chosen. The others are establishment Dems who failed us.

RE: "Who is going to stand up to Trumpism?"
1. ReTrumplican'ts = NONE
2. CINO (Christians In Name Only = NONE
3. Old Timey Republicans = FEW
3. Democrats = SOME
3. Sane, Serious, Truly Patriotic (not the faux John Wayne types) Americans = ALL
Papa don't preach. America wants it's Bad Boy right now.
