Dn this crazy week of the “enthronement” of Donald Trump at the Capitol, the only official voice dissenting from this dubbing of brute force comes from a woman: Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopalian bishop of Washington. Indeed, Donald Trump inaugurated his mandate by issuing decrees against sexual minorities, immigrants, climate diplomacy…
At the same time, he pardons the rioters of January 6, 2021 and supports the most intransigent Israeli settlers. His friend and partner Elon Musk reproduces, intentionally or not, the Nazi salute in front of the world's cameras, and parliamentarian Andy Ogles proposes to acquire Greenland by boasting of being a “dominant predator”…
Faced with the avalanche of these excesses and this assumed brutality, the political world seems to have plunged its head into the sand waiting for better days, and world public opinion is witnessing, dazed, this legitimization which we feel is inevitable, of the law of the strongest. We had to wait for the sermon of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde [prononcé lors d’une messe à la cathédrale nationale de Washington, mardi 21 janvier, au lendemain de l’investiture] to make Donald Trump hear [présent au premier rang lors de l’office] that the Gospel calls for mercy, this beautiful opening of the heart to the misfortune of others.
