—You don't have to be Catholic (I'm not) to be buoyed by last week's news at the Vatican.
—You don't have to be Episcopalian (how I was raised) to be buoyed by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde in National Cathedral on Jan 21. And by US Episcopal leadership this week:

Episcopal Church refuses to resettle white Afrikaners, ends partnership with US government
(RNS) — 'In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step,' the p...

I am Episcopalian. I was elated with the Pope’s election! His will always be a vital voice in global conversations on what aligns with the Gospels. Since we are experiencing such a criminalization of Christianity over here, he will only help. My church taking a just step as well has buoyed me too!
Some of those S.Afrikaners in the pic look old enough to have been a party to Apartheid. King Cheeto waved his magical wand & they all became instant American citizens with voter registration cards reading GOP. He's willing to sell citizenship for $5mil, & he's making sure they're all white. ☹️
So true. Indeed, you don't even have to call yourself a Christian if you act like one.
I don't know what the Catholics did to "Buoy" anyone. The Episcopalians stood up. That's good. Still minor in the big picture.
But do leaders of the Catholic Church still consider women second class citizens?? Not acceptable
👏👏👏
This is the best. Any other religious agency looks like bigots.
Send these assholes to the blackest communities and let them beg for their services.
The Quakers too are marching against the inhumanity of the Trump regime.
You don’t even have to be Christian 🤭
I just despise that the decisions of a church are relevant to begin with. Those of us who don’t believe in Bronze Age myths didn’t consent to have Christian organizations impacting our lives.
I guess there's no tariffs on crackers from South Africa
In the eighties, I went to a party attended by a number of wealthy whites who'd been driven off the land they stole in a country in Africa. One on one, they didn't come off as racist, but as a group with wine, the overt hatred and racism was absolutely shocking. I doubt it's changed.
