Canterbury Pulpit echoes mercy and power in Trump era
Jamie Stiehm’s column contrasts a sermon at Canterbury Cathedral by Bishop Budde urging mercy for immigrants and LGBTQ Americans with Trump’s aggressive federal actions. It recalls Becket’s murder, warns of violence, notes clemency to Jan 6 rioters, and highlights tensions with allies as England’s stone chapel frames a modern political clash.

Pardons draw mixed reactions amid Jan 6 reflections
Clarence Page notes Trump pardons for about 1500 Jan 6 offenders spark varied responses. Pamela Hemphill, the “MAGA granny” from Boise, rejects her pardon citing harm to the rule of law. Navy veteran Jason Riddle also declines to celebrate his pardon as he rebuilds after addiction treatment. Pape from the University of Chicago cautions that most convicted were not from extremist groups, suggesting mainstream voices can fuel political hysteria.
