Faith should never be reduced to a political agenda, but it also compels us to stand for justice and compassion. Leaders like Bishop Budde walk this fine line, striving to uphold spiritual values while addressing societal concerns.

Faith and politics often get tangled up, but keeping them separate matters. When faith gets used to push political agendas, it risks losing what it’s really about—love, justice, and humility. Real faith challenges us to seek the common good, not just fall in line with partisan divides.
