As I recently reported for Rolling Stone, the cathedral and Budde have a history of taking action to hold Trump accountable for trampling their spiritual values and in support of those who are harmed.

If a Jesuit cathedral can install a selfie mirror and the Louvre can curate a Beyoncé and Jay-Z tour, the Trump administration can engage globally while putting American interests first.

Joanne Popkin has lived in Washington, D.C., for 25 years and is a neighbor of the Rev. Canon Jan Naylor Cope, provost of the cathedral. After Budde’s sermon, Popkin wrote Cope a note thanking her.
