[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not the truth, it’s just one lady’s opinion. [/quote]

People here have a hard time differentiating between opinion and fact, they also think their opinion is the “correct” opinion.[/quote]

As an Episcopalian, I take issue with dismissing the Rt Rev Mariann Edgar Budde“s homily as “just one lady’s opinion”.

Apart from the sexist undertones, Bishop Budde serves as spiritual leader for 88 Episcopal congregations and 10 Episcopal schools in the District of Columbia and four Maryland counties. She also serves as the chair and president of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation, which oversees the ministries of the Washington National Cathedral and Cathedral schools.

Many Episcopalians in our diocese have expressed gratitude that she represented our collective values well and spoke humbly about the need for mercy for those who are likely to suffer greatly under the current administration.

There will certainly be some Episcopalians (cradle Episcopalians and more conservative leaning) but I have only heard appreciation for her both from the pulpit and from other parishioners.

She is extremely disciplined, learned and humble in her faith walk. She has a passion for social justice and showing God’s love to all. Her opinion cannot seriously be dismissed so flippantly.

She spoke for many of us.

None of this is relevant to the fact that it’s still just one lady’s opinion.

You just happen to agree with it. [/quote]

The Pope seems to hold roughly similar views.  Do you agree with him?  Or is his opinion just an opinion?[/quote]
