"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves." (Matthew 7:15)
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others." (Matthew 23:23)
A feature of modern liberalism for decades: smug atheism. Science over God. And now, Democrats are overnight experts on Christianity. Why? Credit President Donald Trump, apparently the greatest evangelist since John the Baptist. He got the left to care about religion!
Bishop Mariann Budde, the handsome woman who, in a pinch, could pass using her middle name of Edgar, is the flavor of the month for the ravenous left. Starving for anything that might satisfy their Trump Derangement cravings, they settled for a new-age Saturday Night Live Church Lady, a reproachful, holier-than-thou Karen.

And now, the Bishop of the Diocese of Washington, DC is taking her holy roller show on the road! In a time where Democrats are struggling to find a unifying message (turns out no one wants to hear the same old Racism/Russia/Insurrection mantra any more), the Budde System will have to do.
Progressives, for the time being, are salivating for salvation.

This too shall pass, but in the meantime it's been fun watching lefties learning on the fly about the difference between Catholics and Protestants, priests and bishops, and the eternally fraught crossroads of politics and faith.
Unbeknownst to most Democrats, Budde is most like a Pharisee, outwardly scrupulous and observant, but secretly promoting an irreligious, wicked agenda: the managed decline of organized religion. Enjoy your fifteen minutes, Bishop Budde. As soon as a newer, shinier cause célèbre floats down from woke heaven, you'll be as useless as a hot plate in Hades.
And the throngs of social media shills proclaiming that you're a paragon of Christianity, a brave messenger "speaking truth to power"? They shan't be warming the pews of National Cathedral or dropping cash in the collection plate.
A few parting thoughts:
