Discord in Woke Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

What happens when white male heterosexuals have been marginalized out of the picture? The Cultural Marxist coalition of the allegedly oppressed turns on itself. The Evangelical Lutheran Church provides an example:

An openly transgender cleric from San Francisco, who made history last year with an appointment as a bishop by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, has resigned amid allegations of racism after firing the pastor of a predominantly Latino congregation.

The Rev. Megan Rohrer, who uses the pronoun “they,” led one of the church’s 65 synods, overseeing nearly 200 congregations in Northern California and northern Nevada.

Going by a girl’s name suggests that Rohrer is a guy. But then, wearing a bowtie is something a female transsexual would do. Rohrer has done such a thorough job of defacing God’s handiwork that I don’t know which pronouns to use. I’m not going to use “they,” because Rohrer is only one person, even if the demons infesting his/her soul may be legion.

Weirdos like Rohrer aren’t the only ones empowered by being supposedly oppressed. After he/she fired Puerto Rican pastor Rev. Nelson Rabell-Gonzalez for alleged “verbal harassment and retaliatory actions,” his mainly Mexican congregation shrieked racism.

The church responded by appointing a “listening panel.” Presiding bishop Rev. Elizabeth A. Eaton announced in a report that…

…she intends to act on and explore several of the listening team’s recommendations particularly the need for anti-racism and cultural sensitivity training.

Not good enough. Nothing is ever good enough for a mob that has gotten a taste of the power that comes with being oppressed. The church’s Latino Ministries Association denounced Eaton’s groveling statement as “weak and compassionless.”

They also said her message ignored the suffering of an entire community and gave “a white aggressor the opportunity to decide their own fate – a decision deeply rooted in white supremacy and systemic racism.”

The terms “white supremacy” and “systemic racism” are meaningless yet powerful. Black supremacists have used them to inflict enough damage on local police to create a crime wave.

Rohrer will now have the opportunity to mount a defense as part of a disciplinary process – an opportunity Rabell-Gonzalez says he has been denied. He also said he did not refuse the synod’s mandate to see a therapist. When Rohrer became bishop, Rabell-Gonzalez said he expected to get an ally.

“I got an oppressor instead,” he said.

It is good to hear that even transsexuals can be oppressors. That means there are limits to their power over the rest of us.
