All respect, but what might "rise to a different level“ for @mariannbudde.bsky.social—& even for @stephruhle.bsky.social!—for many, many others might very well sink—unnoticed/unrecognized/unremarked/unmourned—to swill in the bilge bottom.

Safe to say that #BishopBudde 's heart/mind/soul can "rise."

It is still relevant to talk about #BishopBudde I wrote a song for her. What we see now, is a fight between Evil versus Good, Fascism versus Democracy. #Ukraine was only the #scapegoat. The target was the #USA. Humanity is at stake.

Hosted by same Bishop that asked PUSA to have compassion on his inaugural mass who introduces a guest speaker, Tim Shiver. IMHO at times his presentation seemed a bit weak today, but the idea is there…

Really enjoying #BishopBudde reading her own book on courage. Was interesting to hear her take on the Max Lucado melee. I was one of those who protested to her and Dean Hollerith and I got a very gracious and personalized apology from her. ⚓️

Ja, #BishopBudde war mutig.
Aber sie war nicht ohne Vorbilder in der Kirche.
#OscarRomero von der katholischen Kirche hatte diesen Mut auch.
Wir werden den womöglich auch noch brauchen.
Gut, dass es diese Vorbilder gibt, auch wenn sie wie Oscar Romero zu Märtyrern wurden.
