Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, known for her powerful sermon during Trump's inauguration, is invited to speak at the Swedish parliament's opening ceremony. Her message, advocating for mercy towards LGBTQ+ individuals and refugees, sparked both praise and backlash, including criticism from Trump himself. Budde emphasizes that her intention is not rooted in hatred or radicalism but is instead a plea for compassion, reflecting Christian principles. Her upcoming address in Stockholm represents her ongoing commitment to social justice and advocacy for marginalized communities.
I don't hate President Trump. I strive not to hate anyone and I dare say that I am not of the 'radical left' either, whatever that means. That is not who I am.
I did not perceive Bishop Budde's sermon at the inauguration as polemic or provocative. Instead, her message was classically Christian that those with strength and power are asked to show mercy on those who are vulnerable or powerless.
